Abstract

Each year increasing numbers of Māori and Pacifica students graduate from universities but the numbers qualifying in accounting remain dismal. Many reasons for this phenomenon have been explored, one of which is a lack of cultural representation. This paper provides a reflective commentary on how gaming can be used in a quantitative subject to promote an Indigenous language to foster equity and inclusion in the classroom. Looking through the lens of a Constructivist Developmental Pedagogy, the paper applies cultural intelligence to urge proponents of diversity to go beyond merely recognizing awareness of cultural differences to embed cultural appreciation in learning.
