Holocaust Education: Dalhousie University
built 654 days ago
Finding no Holocaust education survey specifically geared to the high school level, these researchers in consultation with Dr. Alan Berger, who holds the Raddock Chair in Holocaust Studies at Florida Atlantic University, created a new survey instrument. This survey was divided into nine parts and asked respondents to answer basic analytic questions about who, what, when, where, how and why regarding Holocaust education. Additionally, it asked respondents to provide information about their personal background and the demographics of their schools. The instrument was validated in the following ways. First, a review of the literature was conducted and a pool of survey items was established. A panel of Holocaust scholars was asked for comments, suggestions, and improvements regarding the survey.
