Question 4

What mistakes do students typically make in AS 91832?

Accepted Answer

1. Not exploring enough different perspectives—students sometimes only consider Māori or Pākehā views, rather than looking at how various groups (urban/rural, young/elderly, different beliefs) see identity differently 2. Listing features of identity without clearly explaining whether they come from Māori culture, other cultures, or a mix—and not explaining why that origin matters 3. Making a judgment about Māori cultural influence without backing it up with specific, well-chosen evidence that actually supports the point being made
