By 2020, half of the world's population and most university
students will have a supercomputer in their pockets. This
revolution will affect the way students respond to higher
education. The university classroom must henceforth engage
students, and the classic lecture format alone might not be enough
to do so. This book answers the question how university students
can learn in the classroom what they cannot learn in any other way.
The answer is inspired by options that are not available to
political scientists - in the way that they are in the laboratories
for the sciences, in the performances for the live arts, and in the
studios for visual arts - as well as ideas that are already
present, but not widespread in the discipline: problem-solving and
case studies, as in the professional schools, and simulation
exercises in many other disciplines. This book proposes therefore
an active pedagogy for political science, at a time when active
pedagogy is more important than ever. Prof. Laure Paquette, PhD,
has been a visiting researcher or professor in 23 countries. She
has advised several foreign governments as well as her own, Canada,
and has published extensively in four languages. This is her
sixteenth book.
