A Systematic Mapping Literature Review on Two-Eyed Seeing in P-20 Education

Two-Eyed Seeing (TES) is a pedagogical approach with the potential to interweave Indigenous ways of knowing and Western sciences into P-20 education to increase Indigenous students’ engagement with the content. Presented here is a systematic mapping literature review on the TES pedagogical approach in P-20 educational settings to examine the trends in peer-reviewed literature on the subject. Specifically, the systematic mapping literature review sought to: 1) better characterize the peer-review literature in terms of publication outlets, geographic locations, content, and educational contexts; 2) determine what peer-reviewed literature reveals about the effectiveness of using a TES approach in a P-20 educational setting; and 3) determine what peer-reviewed literature suggests as guidelines and challenges for P-20 educators to using a TES approach. The completed search revealed 13 articles, and those articles were analyzed via content analysis and analyzed for patterns. The result is a detailed listing of guidelines to aid educators in incorporating TES into the P-20 classroom.
