Abstract

What evidence can be found of political science scholarship on teaching and learning? What questions are being asked and what methodologies are being used by political scientists engaged in this work? This article identifies and discusses six transformative trends in STL, specific to the discipline of political science. The most prominent trends are the dramatic increases in:

  1. democratic and civic education

  2. the use of technology in the classroom

  3. curriculum development and innovation in teaching strategies.

There is also evidence of the continuing importance of diversity, experimentation with service learning, and attention to professional development.
