How much does student effort actually matter? What is the link between student effort and student performance, especially when the effort is not specifically focused on a specific performance metric? This paper examines these questions normatively as well as by analyzing student data generated from an introductory course in US politics. We argue as follows. First, student effort should comprise a substantial share of student grades: otherwise, the grade is likely to reward student resources (“human capital”), which are in large part morally arbitrary. Second, in a course in which effort was appropriately incentivized, weighted, and measured, effort was the principal determinant of final grades through its direct and indirect effects. Finally, although there was intriguing evidence that certain kinds of effort mattered more than other kinds in affecting student performance, we were not able to draw firm conclusions on this point.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47993506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these courses can be costly to implement and time-consuming for instructors to develop. This article describes an integrative learning model for teaching computational social science skills to undergraduate students. There are three elements to the model: content delivery through collaborative learning, skill development in an applied lab setting, and student mentorship. I apply this model to an experiential course where undergraduate students learn to create and conduct a national public opinion poll. The model addresses the need for university classes that equip undergraduate students with computational social science skills, and provides a pathway for training student researchers as teaching assistants for future courses. This model builds the research capacity of faculty, graduate assistants, and undergraduates, invests in data science by providing an infrastructure for the collection of large scale data over time, and integrates experiences inside and outside of the classroom. This model is replicable at other institutions and will be of benefit to programs seeking to implement best practices and maximize learning effectiveness through research integration.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44945095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One change that is evident in both students and technology is an increase in the use of instructional videos. Traditional-aged college students today have grown up in an age where streaming videos from various formats including free social media and paid formal services have become a standard way to consume information. To that end, there are growing expectations on faculty to meet students where they are and create our own videos for delivering course content. The goal of this study is to examine how effective recorded videos are, in comparison to written lectures, at delivering course content and helping students be successful. Specifically, this study presented students with two different options for receiving lecture content in first- and second-year political science courses at a suburban, midwestern, community college. Students could receive lecture material by either reading lecture notes or by watching videos of the instructor going over the notes–or both. By using both quantitative and qualitative measures, this study examined how students consumed lecture material and compared the differences between their academic outcomes and perceptions of both the course and their instructor.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45026991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several canonical figures were themselves composers and instrumentalists who cared deeply about their musical commitments. For a notable few, including Plato, Aristotle, and Rousseau, music arguably constitutes an indispensable feature of their respective ideas about politics and the social order. Yet even when music is less central to a thinker’s written work, it remains a useful tool for illustrating historical context and providing a richer understanding of shifting cultural currents. This article explores several considerations that will aid in the selection of music as a way of promoting conceptual clarification and contextual elucidation. While the overwhelming focus on music in the classroom has relied upon contemporary popular music, I prioritize the use of period music, which avoids some potential challenges. The article includes a musical connection rubric intended to help in the selection of music that will prove most effective as a pedagogical tool.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45880136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay focuses on ways integrative learning can be incorporated into undergraduate political science classes by developing a narrative of revisions to the curriculum of an introductory European government and politics course. Center the position of the Muslim immigrant experience in Europe while promoting an integrative form of political science that crosses subfields within the discipline, and integrates differing modes of inquiry invites students to think critically about immigration, the rise of the populist right, Liberalism and its limits, and the future of European integration. While this redesigned focus, I suggest, provides a useful model for rethinking approaches to the teaching of European politics, the main focus of the article is on promoting the foregrounding of integrative learning course design practices that can be adapted to other introductory undergraduate political science classes.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44324975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation is designed assuming about 20 participants, divided into 4 groups, but is easily modifiable for either more groups or more participants. The goal of each group is resource acquisition, and a failure to acquire adequate resources can result in the elimination of group members from the simulation. Resource acquisition can be done either cooperatively or competitively. The design of this particular simulation is structured to make failure probable for a sizeable minority of participants. This design choice is intentional, as the simulation seeks to turn failure into a pedagogical device. Along with presenting the simulation itself, the piece also argues for the pedagogical merits of designing for failure in classroom exercises.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41612662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this practicality is often clouded with unreliable sources. As such, instructors need better strategies to teach students how to reach reliable online sources and evaluate the accuracy of the online information they obtain. In this article, we introduce a series of exercises to teach students how to identify the reliability of a source, ways to fact-check information, steps to use online search tools effectively, and examples of online academic blogs to utilize and check the reliability of the information that they present, and how to use online data/survey sources. We believe that educating students on identifying and utilizing reliable sources is essential for their intellectual development and ability to conduct their research independently. Therefore, our exercises aim to provide a roadmap for instructors to improve their students’ virtual literacy.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48960544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a small group of graduate students worked to construct a concept map that illustrated the connections between published work as they prepared to take their qualifying examinations. A similar assignment—visually depicting connections between course readings—was implemented between the midterm and final exam in a large-section online undergraduate course. In the undergraduate course, there was noticeable improvement between midterm and final essay responses in which students compared and contrasted readings, and students reported perceptions of it as a valuable exercise. Structured interviews with both undergraduate and graduate students further confirm that concept mapping can improve learning outcomes at both levels of instruction. The project reveals important differences in the way that both sets of students approach relational exercises involving readings and suggests ways of using concept mapping to enhance students’ retention of the material.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43397195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a pedagogy that emphasizes student learning and self-evaluation by omitting quantitative grades, replacing them with a structure where students evaluate themselves and define their own grades for the course. This work draws on comments taken from student reflections and personal accounts of the course design and outcomes presented as a comprehensive reflection on the pedagogy. The goal of these reflections is to present the advantages and challenges of using such a system and a firsthand account for instructors who are interested in alternative grading schemes. Overall, students found ungrading to be initially worrying, but ultimately rewarding. Student work improved and individual students reflected on the innovative nature of the class, providing concrete suggestions for future iterations.","PeriodicalId":46033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Science Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46234749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
