This paper explores how PurpleState, a political simulation designed to foster skills and knowledge for informed civic participation, develops students' abilities to counter or resist the effects of political polarization and partisanship. Throughout the simulation, which has been implemented in Virginia and Wisconsin, students are asked to…

Martin, Alexander P. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
Existing literature on using humor in teaching identifies several social and pedagogical benefits, ranging from making students feel more comfortable and interested in the subject matter to facilitating a critical pedagogy approach. However, there are several risks associated with humor attempts that are detrimental to learning and to student…

Nick Clark; John A. Scherpereel – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Scholars of teaching and learning frequently examine whether simulations promote content knowledge and engagement with course material. But many educators use simulations to promote additional goals. This article suggests that designers of political simulations often pursue four ends: "knowledge, engagement, skills, and empathy (KESE)."…

Guohui Xing; Xiaofeng Luo – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2025
This study discusses the value of applying the practical strategy of top-level design of artificial intelligence (AI) in the ideological and political theory courses (IPC) in China universities, aiming at improving the ideological and political literacy (PA) of college students. The research first implements IPC through AI network media, then…

Slocum-Schaffer, Stephanie A.; Bohrer, Robert E., II – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Because the research methods course is critical in helping students to better understand political outcomes, one would expect the subject to be of great interest to political science majors. Evidence suggests, however, that undergraduates often approach the methods class with substantial fear and generally avoid or postpone taking the class. Using…

Smith, Andrew H. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
An emerging body of literature seeks to design, implement, and analyze best practices in service-learning at undergraduate universities. What scholars have not examined as well as service-learning as applied to students at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI's). Given that students at such universities are in unique learning environments, there is…

Pierre-Étienne Vandamme – Analytic Teaching and Philosophical Praxis, 2023
Political education is a loaded expression, and even more so when it is suggested that state authorities should be in charge of it. The main claim from the author in this article is that, in contexts of sufficient political pluralism, political education should more firmly be taken in charge by primary and secondary schools. In the first section,…

Assessing the Learning Outcomes of a Role-Playing Simulation in International Environmental Politics
Ken Conca; Abby Ostovar; Ratia Tekenet – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
This paper pilots a method of testing the learning effects of a role-playing simulation of negotiations over the Nile basin. Players negotiate how to apply general principles from international law, such as sharing water equitably and avoiding significant harm, to specific circumstances of the river basin. Students are presented with a set of…

Susan Kenyon – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
This paper introduces a new pedagogic approach to the teaching of political science. In engineering education, the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) pedagogy provides an active, experiential learning experience, structuring learning around four key phases in product development. Applied to the undergraduate Politics and International…

McBeth, Mark K.; Blakeman, Jonathan W.L.; Kearsley, Logan; Tyler, Alyson; Villanueva, Emma – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2023
The scholarship of teaching and learning is primarily concerned with improving student learning. Of course, we want our students to learn our disciplines, we want them to become critical thinkers, and we want them learn to write. But this study looks at how learning impacts a student's optimism or pessimism. We believe that it is an important…

Martin, Alexander P. – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2022
Politics and International Relations (Pol & IR) lecturers can capitalise on the established relationship between comedy and political analysis by using humour techniques to enhance the student learning experience and to develop students' critical analysis skills. Using collected data from focus groups with 21 British and International…

This article uses new survey data to examine student preferences and experiences with active learning among a graduate student cohort across two key identity markers: international student status and gender. Our survey of students enrolled in a Master of International Relations program suggests that most view active learning favorably and believe…

Ekström, Linda; Lundholm, Cecilia – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
In this article, we report findings of students' conceptions of values and impartiality in political science teaching in relation to research on epistemic beliefs. This field of research concerns students' beliefs about the nature of knowledge in different disciplines; beliefs that are central to learning disciplinary knowledge. Interviews were…

Defrancq, Bart; Delputte, Sarah; Baudewijn, Tom – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2022
Interprofessional training is not uncommon in interpreting programmes but seems to be mainly practised in dialogue interpreting. This study reports on an interprofessional training session for conference interpreters and students of political science. A six-hour joint mock conference is annually organised at Ghent University by international…
