Lovell, Darrell; Khatri, Cassandra – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Simulation methodology has moved toward using different types of real-world scenario-based learning constructs to improve applied understanding of political science concepts and theories. This type of active learning has become popular in the upper divisions of undergraduate and graduate political science. This reflection addresses the variance in…

Young, Dannagal G.; Baum, Matthew A.; Prettyman, Duncan – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
This study presents the results of a quasi-experiment (N = 254) conducted over the course of ten weeks in Spring 2016 to assess the effectiveness of a game platform designed to facilitate political engagement, attention, efficacy, knowledge, and participation among college students. Results indicate positive effects of game play on several key…

Morgan, Demetri L.; Zilvinskis, John; Dugan, Brendan – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Faculty and administrators at postsecondary institutions continue to grapple with understanding the dynamic nature of student activism. In response, the National Survey of Student Engagement administered a supplemental item set following the 2016 presidential election, in which more than 3,000 respondents were asked about their involvement in…

Boylan, Brandon M.; Ehrlander, Mary F.; Bouffard, Troy J. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Challenges to the Arctic region abound and intersect. Warming, ice and permafrost melting, and pollution jeopardize health and food security of Indigenous and other Northern communities. Problems related to natural resource extraction and shipping are developing. Because these issues cross sovereign boundaries, they must be addressed…

Kempston, Tanya; Thomas, Nicholas – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
To develop a simulation is to construct a new reality, one where students can safely engage with the course materials, so as to achieve the intended learning outcomes. While there are a wide range of studies that review the utility of simulations in the classroom, the construction of the alternate reality--the pseudo-reality--is a less discussed…

Robinson, Andrew M.; Goodridge, Michelle – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Literature on simulation games stresses both the need for objective assessment of pedagogical effectiveness and the concern that such assessment may not be happening because it is too difficult. This article speaks to both points by presenting an approach to objectively assess the effectiveness of a simulation called the Human Rights Foreign…

Han, Donglin; Chen, Zhaoyuan; Tian, Ye – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
This article discusses the current situation of research methodology training for international relations (IR) graduate students in China. Since the country's opening up, research methods training in IR has gradually advanced in universities. We administered a survey to postgraduate IR students in China about their training in research…

Gilbert, Danielle – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
In recent decades, nationalism has emerged from the distant purview of history to become the primary driver of some of the world's biggest news. Given the prominence of nationalist conflict, students in political science increasingly study the subject with modern references in mind. This article describes the design for a timely undergraduate…

McBeth, Mark K.; Pearsall, Chadwick A. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
In today's world characterized by political tribalism, narrative is an increasingly important concept for understanding politics. The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) seeks to describe, explain, and predict the role of narrative in politics and policy. We wanted to explore whether the assumptions and postulates of the NPF could help students in…

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…

Yair, Omer; Sulitzeanu-Kenan, Raanan – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Teaching social sciences frequently involves politically and ideologically fraught issues. This study examines the effect of students' perceived ideological distance from their professors on their academic experience, drawing on a survey of 1,257 students from Social Science and Law faculties in Israel across five different universities. Congruent…

Matto, Elizabeth C.; Chmielewski, Randi – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Efforts to teach civic engagement address not only students' political knowledge but also their skills and dispositions. Although the scholarship of teaching and learning has explored the role of political discussion in the pre-college classroom extensively, attention to the topic at the college-level has been limited. Given the challenges…

King, Aaron S.; Taylor, J. Benjamin; Webb, Brian M. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
Discussion is a crucial component for learning in a college classroom. Increasingly, university and college faculty are using online learning management systems to facilitate and assess course discussions. Given this reality, are there ways to frame prompts to generate normatively better discussions, or discussions where students are better able…

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…

Carroll, Jeffrey N. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2021
This paper explores the implications of a digital music studio that was created as a gathering place to craft music (beats) and write personal reflections (rhymes). I document how the studio emerged as a safe space for expression and self-exploration and in turn, became a hub for conversation around complex political issues for the College and…
