Political Science is *shockingly* all about applying the scientific method to politics and governance. Concepts that we teach in AP Gov are someone's hypothesis, tested out with data... analyzed and triangulated to either support or refute that idea. It is tested over and over again, it is peer reviewed. That is how political scientist do their thing. That is why ideas like the Median Voter Theory or the Mandate Theory of Politics (NOT PROVEN) exist. College Board is having us teach kids how to do the final steps of quantitative analysis... meaning data analysis, interpretation, conclusions, and application to content... in the Quantitative Analysis FRQ. I am stoked. It is a really, really great thing for political science. In order to help you tackle teaching the QA FRQ, I have created this 20 minute video that explains what Quantitative Analysis is, how kids use it in their own lives, and how College Board will assess that skill. There is an example included and tips on how to do the FRQ. Do you just want access to my PREZI? Check it out here. Stay tuned for the remaining FRQs... the Content Application question (which is qualitative analysis), the Argumentation Essay, and the SCOTUS question. Any feedback or questions? Leave them down below!

AuthorI lovgov. LOVE IT! I love teaching government, learning about it, debating, discussing, asking questions about government. And not the standard boiler plate questions, but the hard ones that are NOT in the books. Archives
