2011 APSA Teaching and Learning Conference Track Summaries: Track: Simulations and Role Play II: International Relations and Comparative Politics
In: PS: political science & politics, Band 44, Heft 3, S. 665-665
In a weekend of pedagogical fury, members of the Simulations and Role
Play II track queried their peers to refine their ideas, presented
data on the effectiveness of simulations as pedagogical tools, and
shared methods of using simulations in the classroom. Paper
presentations and discussions examined simulations from a variety of
paradigmatic perspectives, including the use of simulations as
summative assessment instruments, the role of competition in
generating targeted learning outcomes, and the difficulty in
balancing pedagogical objectives with design constraints.
