Migration Oz, An Investigative Resource Kit.
History Teachers' Association of Victoria (Australia).; Bureau of Immigration and Population Research, Carlton South, Victoria (Australia).
This resource kit examines immigration and population issues in Australia. Many organizations with an active interest in immigration policy are represented in the kit, giving students the opportunity to evaluate alternative positions and views. The kit reflects the Commonwealth Government's multicultural policies and the goals that underlie them, recognizing that immigration is about people, not just statistics. This kit is designed as an inquiry-based, multidisciplinary package comprised of eight "evidence files" or core topic areas, with photocopy sheets of source materials based on core topics. A wide variety of sources is presented for classroom use. The eight core topics covered include: (1) International population movement; (2) The history of immigration to Australia; (3) Australia's immigration policy; (4) The economics of immigration; (5) The social impact of immigration; (6) The demographic impact of immigration; (7) The environmental impact of immigration; and (8) The politics of immigration. A teacher's guide, which includes a bibliography of recommended background reading is provided. Intended for secondary teachers, the kit also can be used by teachers in higher education institutions to integrate with existing courses in History, Economics, Politics, Geography, Environmental Studies, and English. Community groups wishing to explore these issues will find this kit useful as well. (EH)
