9: Teaching and Learning in Political Science

Steve Swindle, Lee University, sswindle@leeuniversity.edu

The Teaching and Learning in Political Science division welcomes submissions for papers, panels and roundtables, particularly those that address the 2012 APSA Conference theme of “Representation and Renewal.” We invite rigorous and scholarly proposals that contribute to our understanding of the role of the classroom and student engagement in the evaluation and establishment of representative ideals and the means by which they can be achieved. Papers exploring innovative pedagogies, classroom technologies, and active learning strategies are encouraged. Of particular interest are proposals that explore the implications of classroom and curricular diversity, internationalization, and inclusiveness as contributing components toward the quality of instruction, and toward learning outcomes. Finally, creative proposals that promote work across subfield and disciplinary divisions are especially welcome.
