Patu™ Aotearoa (Patu™) is a social enterprise that is dedicated to the holistic health and wellbeing of local communities. Developed in consultation with the Patu™ whānau, the Meke Meter is an indigenous, image-based, holistic self-reflection tool that has minimal text, designed to capture an individual’s perception of their wellbeing. This pilot study extended the use of the Meke Meter into the tertiary education setting and began to explore the applications of the Meke Meter as both a culturally appropriate self-reflection tool for students and an educator assessment and/or evaluation tool. Throughout 2017, the Meke Meter was used by students enrolled in the one-semester Certificate in Health and Fitness (CHF) programme delivered on the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) Hawke’s Bay campus. Two cohorts of students n = 27 completed the Meke Meter at the start (round 1), middle (round 2) and end (round 3) of their educational programme. Due to completion rates outside the scope of this study, not all of the students that started the programme completed the programme. Results indicate that as a group the overall perception of health and wellbeing improved as the semester progressed, however significance was only observed in median scores in round 3 when compared to rounds 1 and 2 suggesting that students need to reach the end of the programme to demonstrate significant changes in their perception of health. Notable trends however were the reduction of minimal scores from rounds 1–3 and an interesting observation that semester two students started the programme with higher scores than those in semester one. A need for culturally sensitive assessment tools which do not focus on academic achievement alone has been demonstrated in the literature (Griffiths in Aust J Indig Educ 40:69–80, 2011). This pilot study presents a simple but versatile image-based tool which can benefit students and educators through increased awareness and knowledge of the students’ holistic experiences throughout their learning journey.

Patu™ Meke Meter：在课堂上使用

Patu™ Aotearoa (Patu™) 是一家社会企业，致力于当地社区的整体健康和福祉。Meke Meter 是与 Patu™ whānau 协商开发的，是一种本土的、基于图像的、整体的自我反思工具，文本最少，旨在捕捉个人对其健康的看法。该试点研究将 Meke Meter 的使用扩展到高等教育环境中，并开始探索 Meke Meter 作为适合学生文化的自我反思工具和教育者评估和/或评估工具的应用。在整个 2017 年，Meke Meter 被东部理工学院 (EIT) 霍克斯湾校区开设的一学期健康与健身证书 (CHF) 课程的注册学生使用。两组学生 n = 27 在他们的教育计划的开始（第 1 轮）、中间（第 2 轮）和结束（第 3 轮）时完成了 Meke Meter。由于本研究范围之外的完成率，并非所有开始该计划的学生都完成了该计划。结果表明，作为一个群体，随着学期的进行，整体对健康和福祉的看法有所改善，但与第 1 轮和第 2 轮相比，仅在第 3 轮的中位数分数中观察到显着性，这表明学生需要达到计划的结束才能证明他们对健康的看法发生了重大变化。然而，值得注意的趋势是第 1-3 轮最低分数的降低，以及一个有趣的观察结果，即第二学期的学生开始该课程的分数高于第一学期的学生。文献中已经证明需要对文化敏感的评估工具不只关注学业成就（Griffiths in Aust J Indig Educ 40:69–80, 2011）。这项试点研究提供了一种简单但多功能的基于图像的工具，它可以通过提高学生在整个学习过程中的整体体验的意识和知识，使学生和教育工作者受益。
