Question 1

What is NCEA AS 91758 about?

Accepted Answer

This standard asks you to understand the factors that cause a group of people to move or migrate, and the consequences (both good and bad) that result from this movement. You need to show you can identify what pushes or pulls people to move — like wars, poverty, searching for better land, or following cultural practices — and explain what happens to the group and the wider community as a result of that migration.

Question 2

What do students need to do for AS 91758?

Accepted Answer

1. Identify the causes that drive a specific group's migration — these can be social, cultural, economic, or political reasons (like conflict, seeking better living conditions, following spiritual beliefs, or escaping poverty) 2. Identify the consequences of that migration on the group itself — such as changes to their economic status, loss of cultural practices, shifts in identity, or community support 3. Identify the consequences on the wider iwi or hapū community — such as changes to land, resources, tribal identity, language, or social connections 4. Choose a real group and time period as your example (such as a hapū, an iwi, people moving from overseas, urban vs rural communities, or refugees from conflict) 5. Explain connections between the migration causes and the consequences that follow

Question 3

What's the difference between Achieved, Merit, and Excellence for AS 91758?

Accepted Answer

Achieved: You correctly identify both causes of migration for your chosen group and consequences on that group and the wider community. Merit: You explain the causes of migration and consequences clearly, showing how different social, cultural, economic, or political factors connect to the outcomes experienced. Excellence: You evaluate and analyse the consequences of migration, weighing both positive and negative impacts on the group and iwi/hapū, and showing deeper understanding of how complex these effects are.

Question 4

What mistakes do students typically make in AS 91758?

Accepted Answer

1. Not clearly distinguishing between causes (why people moved) and consequences (what happened as a result) — students sometimes mix these together or only focus on one 2. Choosing examples that are too vague or not specific enough — pick a real, named group and time period rather than speaking generally about 'migration' 3. Only discussing consequences for the migrating group and ignoring impacts on the wider iwi or hapū left behind or affected by the movement
