Teaching Political Science to Undergraduates : Active Pedagogy for the Microchip Mind By 2020 half of the world’s population and most university students will have a supercomputer in their pockets. This revolution will affect the way students respond to higher education. The university classroom must henceforth engage students and the classic lecture format alone might not be enough to do so. This book answers the question how university students can learn in the classroom what they cannot learn in any other way. The answer is inspired by options that are not available to political scientists – in the way that they are in the laboratories for the sciences in the performances for the live arts and in the studios for visual arts – as well as ideas that are already present but not widespread in the discipline: problem solving and case studies as in the professional schools and simulation exercises in many other disciplines. This book proposes therefore an active pedagogy for political science at a time when active pedagogy is more important than ever.Prof. Laure Paquette PhD has been a visiting researcher or professor in 23 countries.
