本文描述了作者在 2006 年组织的一场国会候选人之间的政治辩论。这场辩论的结构是为了最大限度地提高学生在计划阶段和活动本身的参与度。在讨论了体验式学习的相关文献后,文章描述了辩论的形式,并详细介绍了规划和组织中遇到的问题。由于利益相关者数量众多,在与候选人、媒体、学生和大学官僚机构打交道时出现了许多挑战。我们对这些问题的描述旨在帮助其他希望组织类似辩论的人。本文还从参与辩论计划的人员和参加美国政府课程的人员的角度审视了学生的学习成果。我们发现,参与增强了两个群体的政治知识和参与度。最后,本文考虑了未来如何更有效、更系统地评估辩论的影响。
This article describes a political debate among congressional candidates that the authors organized in 2006. The debate was structured to maximize student involvement both in the planning stages and during the event itself. After discussing relevant literature on experiential learning, the article describes the debate format and details the issues encountered in planning and organization. Given the large number of stakeholders, a number of challenges emerged in dealing with the candidates, media, students, and university bureaucracy. Our description of these issues is designed to assist others wishing to organize similar debates. The article also examines student learning outcomes from the perspectives of those involved in debate planning and those who attended as part of an American Government class. We find that participation enhanced political knowledge and engagement for both groups. Finally, the paper considers how assessment of the debate's impact could be addressed more effectively and systematically in the future.
