Interteach and Student Engagement in Political Science
Slagter, Tracy H.; Scribner, Druscilla L.
Journal of Political Science Education, v10 n1 p81-92 2014
"Interteach" is a method of guided discussion and feedback developed by Thomas Boyce and Philip Hineline in 2002. This method, primarily used in the psychology classroom, encourages greater student engagement and responsibility for learning by requiring extensive student preparation, peer-to-peer instruction, and peer evaluation. How can this method be used and modified for the political science classroom to increase students' engagement and to improve students' ability to synthesize complex arguments? In this article, we describe how to use the interteach method in political science and demonstrate its effectiveness in multiple classroom scenarios. The research is based on evidence from five different political science courses, ranging from the introductory-level to seminar-style classes.
