{"title":"Learning Goals in Simulations","authors":"Luba Levin-Banchik","doi":"10.1093/isp/ekad024","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/isp/ekad024","url":null,"abstract":"Why do scholar–teachers use simulations? This study presents an analysis of simulation goals in peer-reviewed simulations published over the past 20 years. The scholarship of teaching and learning emphasizes that educational goals are an essential first step in designing simulations. The flexibility of simulation designs allows the formulation of a variety of content-based, skill-based, and emotion-based goals. However, which of these goals are more prevalent in published simulations of political science and international relations? Is there a change in the stated simulation objectives over time? And do scholar–teachers outline simulation goals in the first place? This study answers these questions by collecting and analyzing data on the stated simulation objectives in a random sample of eighty-seven simulations published in the Journal of Political Science Education (2005–2021), International Studies Perspectives (2000–2021), and PS: Political Science and Politics (2000–2021). The key finding is that the simulation community is doing well and, over time, is making progress in outlining and diversifying the intended learning outcomes of simulations. What is still needed, however, is a greater recognition of the emotional impacts of simulations and their potential to advance not only student substantive knowledge but also their skills and emotional experiences, with all three in the same simulation design.","PeriodicalId":47002,"journal":{"name":"International Studies Perspectives","volume":"30 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139161590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amidst this trend, many scholars have pushed research and education programs to explore beyond a hegemonic liberal peace, for example by diversifying reading lists and drawing on decolonial frameworks. This paper adds to such efforts: through the case study of a higher education PCS classroom, we use narratives from two course conveners and a student to explore challenges and opportunities of realizing a critical pedagogy approach to peace education. This approach recenters the classroom not necessarily in terms of what students ought to think, but how; critical theory provides a basis for fostering curiosity, using query as a tool of learning, and focusing class structure on students’ needs. Our findings suggest that using critical pedagogy in PCS addresses calls for a greater understanding of peace beyond the absence of violence, fosters active envisioning of peace, and works toward decolonizing and demystifying peace work. Ultimately, we call for PCS classrooms to foster critical thinking and radical imagination for a pedagogy of peace praxis.","PeriodicalId":47002,"journal":{"name":"International Studies Perspectives","volume":" 29","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135292583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a teaching experience for graduate students at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), this article makes two contributions. First, it proposes a concrete roadmap for those who would like to supervise students in creating a simulation for and with practitioners. Second, it shows the benefits of student-designed simulation in terms of learning outcomes for students and participants involved in the role-play. It highlights how the conceptualization of a detailed scenario, on the one hand, leads students to uncover the daily practices through which global problems are (tentatively) governed within international organizations. The implementation, on the other hand, fosters dialogue between aid workers specialized in emergency situations and actors working in the field of (sustainable) development who are invited to swap roles during a two-hour student-led simulation. By promoting this reversed type of simulation, the article intends to further expand the active learning toolbox while proposing a pedagogical activity that builds a bridge between academics and students of international studies and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":47002,"journal":{"name":"International Studies Perspectives","volume":"59 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135975142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having suffered from centuries of anarchy in political, economic and military spheres, which culminated into occupation by foreign forces and transformation of a prosperous economy into a semi colonial and semi feudal society ( ban zhimindi ban fengjian shehui), China chose to establish a command economy and a culture of ‘iron rice bowls’ ( tie fan wan). However with the reforms, the concept of management underwent a radical change as the culture of ‘iron rice bowls’ ( tie fan wan) gave way to ‘golden rice bowls’ ( jin fan wan). The metaphorical rice was now not an imperative, but a choice, if one was ready for the rapid market and ‘reform and opening up’ ( gaige kaifang). The next phase of transition in China’s management practices came with the phenomenal rise of China’s economy, its increasing integration with the globalized world and its arrival on the international scenario as an ‘inside player’ rather than an ‘outside observer’. On the flip side, this also meant that the ‘outside world’ could now have an insight into what China did within its territorial boundaries and many fingers were raised on China’s various management practices especially related to labour and environment issues. Hence, this article focuses on management practices related to these two issues only. This hypothesis of this article is that the concept of management, though western, is not a foreign idea for China. It tries to draw a general framework of the various HRM (human resources management) and GSCM (green supply chain management) practices. The article attempts to draw synchronization between China’s past and the present for its future. Likewise, an analysis shall be made by comparing the difference between state-owned enterprises which are the remnants of a socialistic system infused with ‘Chinese characteristics’ and joint ventures when one of the parties is from a foreign nation to China.","PeriodicalId":47002,"journal":{"name":"International Studies Perspectives","volume":"263 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135320504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the greatest challenges to the state is the growing ethnic competition and conflict between groups. Ethnic consciousness is developed among communities by the elite. This leads to a rise in the demands made to the state. Tackling the varied conflicting interest is a cumbersome task. Ethnic identity politics is a result of elite competition and conflict. The only solution to lasting peace is democracy and devolution. However, democratic techniques to resolve conflicts also require a strong political will that is sincere towards the effort of conflict resolution. Assimilation and integration along with decentralization can give the peace process a fair chance to succeed. This article studies the process of conflict resolution in Sri Lanka since efforts towards devolution of power were made to accommodate demands of the Tamils and establish peace. Democracy and devolution were given a chance in Sri Lanka; however, the lack of a will among the elites on both the sides to garner a solution to the conflict led to its failure. Despite the devolution packages being offered right since the 1950s, the ethnic conflict culminated into military action on the part of the state.","PeriodicalId":47002,"journal":{"name":"International Studies Perspectives","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136135528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
