IUSSP Working Group on Teaching Survey of Teaching and Training in Demography Chair : Graziella Caselli Members : Noreen Goldman ; Mohammed Mazouz ; Victor Piché

PuRPOSE OF THE SuRVEY

The scientific scope of the IUSSP Working Group on Teaching should be to encourage activities aimed at defining new guidelines for teaching demography in the future. The new contents of demography should be clearly listed, making some differentiation according to the target group, future demographers on the one hand and others who in the course of their professional activity need to apply some demographic know-how. One of the goals must be to diffuse the teaching of demography among other disciplines. With this in mind, a directory should be drawn up of all the centres where demography is taught as well as other subjects which include population topics. Secondly, teaching manuals and other teaching materials used in the different centres should be obtained, with the intention of summarising the contents and performing a critical-comparative analysis.

Questionnaire (in English only) to be returned before June 30, 2000
Only one completed questionnaire should be filled out for each unit. Please appoint the colleague the most knowledgeable about the teaching programme to answer the questionnaire on behalf of a group of colleagues to avoid duplication.
