Abstract:
This paper discusses methods used by
Allegheny College - a standard small
liberal arts college and a four-time winner
of the Best Delegation award at
Model NATO - to enhance student learning.
The paper also describes how student
delegations can become more
competitive in role-playing simulations,
how Model NATO might strengthen a
political science and international relations
curriculum, and what long-term
academic benefits might emerge from an
extended record of Model NATO successes.
The utility of these lessons and
tools extends beyond Model NATO, and
is applicable to other intercollegiate simulations
and role-playing exercises.
