| Abstract: | The educational implications of psychological research with Canadian Native children during the past decade are discussed within the framework of 3 implied educational models. The 1st, "remedial education," assumes the principal function of the school is to correct deficiencies in the child's behavior. The 2nd model is termed "supplementary education" and emphasizes the need for mutual adaptation between Native groups and educational institutions. The 3rd model, "instrumental education," is implied when the problems of Native education are identified with the alien and imposed nature of traditional education itself.
