TEACHING TECHNIQUES IN INTRODUCTORY ECONOMICS CLASSROOMS: HOW MUCH OF WHAT? (original) (raw)

This paper describes five teaching tools, in-class experimentation and demonstration, frequent quizzing, in-term student feedback, type of questions in exams and playing music before class, for improving teaching and learning in introductory economics classes. Results of implementing these teaching tools were discussed, and literature relevant to such teaching tools was reviewed. It was concluded that these and similar other teaching tools are helpful to improve teaching and learning but implementing these tools require instructor"s additional knowledge, time and effort. How much of what tool an instructor would implement depends on his/her willingness and affordability. The instructor also needs to weigh the benefits with the additional efforts needed.
