Angus Hikairo Macfarlane CNZM FRSNZ (died 27 November 2024) was a New Zealand academic and professor at the University of Canterbury.

[3][4] He received a PhD titled Culturally inclusive pedagogy for Māori students experiencing learning and behaviour difficulties in 2003.

This theory of student management strategy was based around the research and beliefs of many of Macfarlane's favourite theorists from his educational psychology background.

[1]The Educultural Wheel is made up of five interwoven concepts that cover the bases of all aspects of the classroom, these are: Whanaungatanga (Building relationships), Kotahitanga (Ethic of Bonding), Manaakitanga (Ethic of care), Rangatiratanga (Teacher effectiveness), and Pumanawatanga (General classroom morale, pulse, tone).

[17] In the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours, Macfarlane was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to education, psychology and Māori.
