Wikipedia and the Aotearoa New Zealand History Curriculum (2022)[edit]

In 2022, Auckland Museum GLAM partnered with lecturer and museum curriculum developer Dr Mark Sheehan to investigate secondary school teachers' attitudes on using Wikipedia as a resource for teaching the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories (ANZH) curriculum, planned for implementation in 2023.

The report found that while Wikipedia was seen as a reliable resource for national history content, this was not true for local history content. Teachers had concerns that information would not include mātauranga Māori, diverse voices and contemporary perspectives on history. Teachers saw Wikipedia as having the potential to contribute to how students learn to think critically about sources and develop the skills to differentiate between reliable and unverified knowledge, but would need support to implement this.
