Making Politics "Click": The Costs and Benefits of Using Clickers in an Introductory Political Science Course
Evans, Heather K.
Journal of Political Science Education, v8 n1 p85-93 2012
In this article, the author addresses both the costs and benefits of implementing clickers into an introductory political science course. Comparing student responses to a mid-semester survey in both a clicker and non-clicker course, the results show that students have higher satisfaction of the course and instructor, higher exam scores, and feel more comfortable participating in class when using clickers. The author finds that the benefits of using clickers in a large introductory course greatly outweigh the costs and encourages others to try the technology. (Contains 2 tables and 6 notes.)
