The 21st Century Professor: New Approaches and Debates in Teaching Political Science

Abstract

Didactical methods of how to teach political science have become increasingly significant in the past decade. There is also a growing literature about different didactic topics such as creativity in teaching and active learning, and new ways to communicate knowledge to the students often based on new technologies. These developments are welcome in our discipline, but the theoretical approaches underlying this development are not always clear. We can also see contradictory debates about teaching political science, notably when it comes to new technical developments and new demands for structuring courses under the influence of political pressures. The panel welcomes papers that address the key questions raised here: (1) what are the significant didactical discussions in our discipline? (2) What are ongoing debates and theoretical approaches about teaching political science? Clearly both questions relate to each other and there is a huge domain for discussions in between that we are going to discover within the scope of this panel.
