Data on the Human Crisis: Teacher's Guide. Data on the Human Crisis: A Handbook for Inquiry.
Nesbitt, William A., Ed.
The major function of the handbook is to provide secondary level teachers with a collection of data on world problems that can be used in history, world affairs, sociology, or ecology courses. A teacher's guide accompanies the handbook. The teaching technique used is inquiry. Students analyze data, and form hypotheses and generalizations. Thirty-eight data sheets on the following topics are included in the handbook: (1) international and national violence; (2) the cost of arms; (3) population growth; (4) pollution and depletion of natural resources; (5) the rich-poor nation gap; (6) rapidity of change; (7) international cooperation; and (8) interrelationship of problems and the future. Questions with which to facilitate classroom discussion are provided for each data sheet in the teacher's guide which accompanies the handbook. (Author/RM)
