Description
Active methodologies in political science and international relations classrooms. Simulations of political processes in international and national organizations is a volume dedicated to understanding active learning processes through its most popular instrument, simulations. The volume has been conceived with a clear didactic vocation aimed at the training of teachers in Social Sciences. The work consists of eight chapters where the reader is taught how to properly design, implement and measure the effectiveness of simulations carried out in class. So that the reader can verify the experience in practice, six examples of simulation exercises carried out in the classroom are offered. The work covers both simulations based on political entities that exist in reality, as well as exercises in fictional institutions. Depending on the learning objectives, the teacher can choose the most appropriate model for his or her class. Likewise, the work investigates the controversial question of the value that simulations have as an effective methodology for learning content and offers indications to get the most out of their application in study plans.
