Designed as a role-play scenario for a research methods course, the FUND$ GAME is an engaging way to initiate players into the world of social science research grants.
The teacher assigns a topic and the students role-play a research funding competition among ten social science disciplines. Judges, journalists and the general public are also on hand to add authenticity to the scenario experience.
This learning activity readies students to embark on the more challenging work of formally drafting a research proposal in the RESEARCH INSTITUTE scenario.
How do researchers obtain support for their research?
What is the difference between sociology research and history research?
How are researchers held accountable?
The answers to these questions can be found by participating in this competition for research funding among the social science disciplines.
