Teaching Innovations in Economics presents findings from the
Teaching Innovations Program (TIP) funded by the National Science
Foundation. The six-year project engaged economics professors in
the use of interactive teaching in undergraduate economics courses.
Each chapter offers an insightful explanation of an innovative
teaching strategy and provides a description and examples of its
effective use in undergraduate economics courses. The book?s
conclusion assesses the results from an evaluation of the program
that reports detailed findings on how TIP fundamentals have
contributed to faculty development and successful outcomes. The
first three chapters of the book describe the results of TIP?s
three phases: (1) workshops on teaching for college and university
economics instructors that introduced them to a variety of
interactive teaching strategies; (2) follow-on instructional
modules that provided mentoring from interactive strategy experts
and gave participants an opportunity to adapt and apply these
strategies to their undergraduate economics courses; and (3)
opportunities to contribute to the scholarship of teaching and
learning in economics, which involves sharing and discussing
teaching innovations with other faculty members in presentations,
papers, and other forums. The chapters following describe the seven
interactive strategies featured in the project: cooperative
learning, classroom experiments, interpretive discussion, formative
assessment, context-rich problem solving, teaching with cases, and
active learning in large-enrollment courses. These seven chapters
were each written by a team of four economists, consisting of a
strategy expert and three TIP participants who used the teaching
strategy in their classrooms with students. Written by economists
and for economists, this is a valuable resource for all
undergraduate economics instructors who seek to enrich their
teaching and engage their students in employing economics theory
and practice in the classroom and beyond.
