This volume is a welcome addition to an ever growing body of work
in economic education. The chapters herein are sure to appeal
equally to new and seasoned instructors. The often overlooked
process of setting expectations is motivated through a fresh look
at syllabus construction. A wide range of content areas are covered
throughout the volume, with dedicated chapters on the Coase Theorem
and tax evasion. Research chapters enhance our understanding of the
acquisition of economic knowledge (through clicker use), the stock
of economic and financial knowledge (and correlated factors), and
how real and perceived economic and financial literacy influence
opinions (related to the financial crisis). The depth and breadth
of coverage on such important topics make this a must have volume.'
- KimMarie McGoldrick, University of Richmond, US'This volume
includes chapters extending and updating innovative teaching
methods for undergraduate economics courses, as well as chapters
with empirical research. Economic educators and general economists
who are interested in teaching will therefore find something of
interest and importance here.' - Michael Watts, Purdue University,
US This innovative book offers targeted strategies for effectively
and efficiently teaching economics at both undergraduate and
postgraduate levels. It provides professors and other teachers of
economics various techniques to engage and retain the interest of
students, and challenges them to apply both knowledge and
methodological tools to a range of economic problems. Each chapter
in this volume addresses a specific topic in the teaching of
economics, with the overall goal of deepening students'
understanding of economic reasoning and providing the tools
required to apply that knowledge and insight to real-world
problems. The contributors discuss a broad range of techniques and
strategies, from syllabus creation to effective classroom
demonstrations to the use of literature and film in illustrating
economic principles, all of which provide fascinating insights and
ideas for improving the overall quality of economics education.
Teachers of economics at all levels particularly university and
college professors - will find this book invaluable in their
efforts to improve their teaching strategies and methods and
provide high-quality economics education to future generations of
scholars. Contributors: C.J. Asarta, Y. Bauman, S.A Beaulier, C.
