This definition of Reeonstructionism has been written from a Western point of view. However, with modification, the philosophy of Reeonstructionism can easily be adopted as my philosophy of Aboriginal Education.

Firstly, Brameld states that ‘Reeonstructionism commits itself to a building of a new culture’. In analysing the statement it can be said that Aboriginal culture and Western culture must form a new culture through the bonding of each culture. However, it must be noted that each culture will retain its values, customs and traditions, but must readily accept and try to understand the values, customs and traditions of the alternate culture. The result will be a new cultural group.
