The PRINCE materials for undergraduate collegiate students, developed at Syracuse University, were field tested at six higher education institutions for this evaluation study. The materials, consisting of four versions of a simulation, were designed to teach skills for analyzing political situations from a strategic point of view, with the objective of improving political skills. This study evaluated the materials for teaching specific skills to 151 students by measuring posttest improvements over pretests. Open-ended essay questions were used as the evaluation instrument, and answers to the questions by a control group of politically experienced persons were used for determining criteria. The results indicated that students tended to (1) be more likely to define a clear-cut political issue, (2) write fewer words in defining the issue, and (3) make more specific suggestions as to how to deal with more actors in trying to solve a political problem. The findings generally showed that the stipulated educational objectives were being achieved at the campuses tested. (ND)
