- Title
Combining Storytelling with Problem Solving to Improve Criminal Justice Education and Training.
- Authors
Bolton, Michael
- Abstract
In this article, the author extols the advantage of combining meaningful storytelling with situation analysis and problem solving with the intent to improve the ability of students to more clearly understand the connections between assigned scholarly readings as they relate to those situations likely to be encountered by police and other law enforcement personnel in the performance of their duties. Included in this article are discussions of unique teaching techniques the author employs such as Optional PowerPoint (OPP) and Power Stream Inquiry System (PSIS) approaches to teaching. He developed both and uses them in most of his courses. Further, the author discusses why he prefers neither the practitioner nor the academic voice. If current or future instructors desire to provide comprehensive, well-rounded collegiate experiences for students desiring to join or advance in a law enforcement or other criminal justice field, the author strongly suggests he or she should understand that the two perspectives are inextricably linked to one another.
