Title of article[edit]

So what do others think of this title anyone got a better idea? -- Moxy (talk) 21:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's the most accurate of the several similar articles created in the last few days: e.g. Child work and Child Integration that clearly focus on Indigenous Peoples, yet have an unduly broad title. The similar timing and content of these articles makes me think they are the result of student assignments, and if so, the template:Educational assignment should be placed on the talk pages to clearly indicate the concerted effort. Can you confirm? --Animalparty-- (talk) 06:15, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at the Child work and Child Integration pages and I don't think the titles are too broad. For example, as noted in on the Child Integration page, the phenomenon can happen in any community, but is simply most common to Indigenous people. Specifying these people in the title would unduly narrow the topic IMO. Drewdeecopp (talk) 19:49, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The title is kind of a mouthful. I think something like "Child Development in Indigenous American communities" would be better. The content of the page should also generalize appropriately (i.e., there is no single way that child development happens among the thousands of Indigenous American communities). I think the page does a good initial job at summarizing the broader patterns. Drewdeecopp (talk) 19:49, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I like the suggestion you made: Child development in Indigenous American communities. The page, however, seems to be going in the direction of child learning and not the broader topic of child development. Igsolis (talk) 22:33, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Contributions[edit]

I am thinking of changing the section heading, "Concept," because it seems like the content is more specifically speaking on Indigenous ways of learning. That being said, I propose the idea of changing the heading to "Ways of learning." I'm also considering breaking up the Concept section by adding subsections to ease browsing. Secondly, I want to make contributions to the page regarding the social aspects of indigenous ways of learning and how motivation plays a role. What do you all think? Igsolis (talk) 22:26, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate the structure update and the added information on IAC. KarinaDenmark (talk) 20:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
