Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Classroom role-playing simulations are an important tool to promote the active learning by students in college classrooms. This paper explores the simulation of a post-Kyoto Climate Change Treaty negotiation run for one week in an Introduction to International Relations course. In addition, the paper stresses the need for greater assessment to determine the efficacy of simulations as active learning techniques. To this end the paper provides an assessment model for measuring the learning outcomes of the simulation. Students are divided into teams to represent six states. Prior to the simulation, they are given in-depth information about climate change and international negotiation. Before the simulation begins they are responsible for a position paper and an objective sheet. The negotiation includes the drafting of an agreement, and formal and informal negotiation. Students are also required to submit pre and post-surveys, and complete a debrief questionnaire. Measurements (e.g., survey questions and brief writing assignment) are taken before and after the negotiation to assess the degree to which students’ attitudes about international environmental politics, climate change and international cooperation change. A final class is devoted to a debriefing when students discuss the process and what they learned by simulating the negotiation
