Kevin Edward Lucas – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Responding to student concerns about the market value of an undergraduate degree in Political Science, many departments offer students the opportunity to earn credits toward their degree by completing relevant internships. This raises two important questions: what sort of internship experiences should qualify as a Political Science internship and…

Karin L. Becker; Danielle Gilbert; Paul Bezerra – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
College faculty often struggle with getting their students to read assigned materials. Even if students do read, they may not read closely or critically. Not only does the lack of effective reading undermine understanding, but it also hampers class discussions and engagement. To promote close and critical reading in a required, upper-division…

Iva Božovic – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
This work reports on the implementation of a self-contained data-literacy exercise designed for use in undergraduate classes to help students practice data literacy skills such as interpreting and evaluating evidence and assessing arguments based on data. The exercises use already developed data-visualizations to test and develop students' ability…

Alfred Marleku; Ridvan Peshkopia; D. Stephen Voss – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Much of the literature on research-oriented teaching relies on the impressions of instructors who have experimented with such practices. Often authors are enthusiastic. This article shifts the focus to assess student satisfaction with such methods. We hypothesize that a student preference for research-based learning in Political Science would grow…

Gabriela Gonçalves Barbosa; Ana Paula Maielo Silva; Elia Elisa Cia Alves; Cristina Carvalho Pacheco – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Active learning is an engaging way of teaching and even experienced professors may not know how to start implementing its techniques to make classes more dynamic. Teaching cases can be a very useful active method of instruction, as an opportunity to assign students roles in the case discussion, centering them as the protagonists of their own…

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)."…

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…

Holmsten Stephanie Seidel – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Decades of research suggest that interactive classrooms enhance student engagement and improve comprehension. Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an educational strategy used first in medical settings and business schools and then expanded to social sciences and humanities that emphasizes small-group, active-learning, where most classroom time is devoted…

John Wood; Kenneth Kickham – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Legislatures have banned CRT across many states in America, altering the country's campus climate. This case study surveys more than 200 students, faculty, and staff on campus to understand their points of view on CRT. The authors find a "pernicious polarization" dividing the university and suggest that university faculty consider a…

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…

Ahedo Gurrutxaga, Igor; Alvarez Muguruza, Iraide; Gómez Etxegoien, Cata – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
Analyzing gender inequalities when teaching political science can be an opportunity. Making inequalities visible in the classroom using students' personal experiences can help teachers generate co-responsible practices which are necessary in a context where group work is increasingly important. Moreover, revealing gender inequalities through the…

Cizmar, Anne M.; Holt, Benjamin Tyler – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
Reading is critical to success in college. Faculty members often decry students who come to class without reading, and unprepared for the lessons of the day. Yet, relatively little empirical research assesses how to best stimulate collegiate reading and what types of reading assessments provide the best student learning outcomes. This paper…

Jones, Joseph L. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
This reflection focuses on my experiences teaching political science through a black worldview suggested by Dr. Mack H. Jones. In 1971, Dr. Mack H. Jones challenged black political scientists to subvert the efforts of white political scientists by creating an alternative frame of reference that focused on African American and African communities…

Chaturvedi, Neilan S.; Guerrero, Mario A. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
Can faculty advising ease the postgraduation stress for political science majors and help them pick a career after graduation? Faculty advisors have increasingly become the norm, yet Collins et al. find that there is wide disparity on career preparation offered to political science students across institutions in the United States. In this paper,…
