Abstract | Active learning--and gaming, in particular--is now a well-established part of many political science courses. First, we discuss the design and implementation of a "Gateway Game", a pedagogical tool with broad applicability and test its effectiveness in increasing student motivation, satisfaction, and learning. Crucially, we provide instructors with all the tools necessary to run the game in their classroom to experience this for themselves. Second, using surveys of classroom participants, we show that the game increases student satisfaction, motivation, and learning, suggesting that this game comprises an exciting entry point for learning in many environments. Third, we describe how this game can be integrated into a variety of courses and subfields. (As Provided). |
