• W107328045 abstract "Economics is arguably the most relevant course a student will take in high school. Whenever we turn on the television, or read the paper or a news magazine, we encounter economics. Every time we enter the voting booth, we encounter economics. In fact, any time we make a choice, we encounter economics. Given the prevalence of economics in our daily lives, a fundamental understanding of what makes our economy tick is crucial. Yet teaching high school economics can be daunting. Four reasons help to explain this. First, many economics teachers were trained to be history or government teachers. (1) Economics was not their first academic love. Second, many teachers did not enjoy economics in college, if they took a course at all. As a result, such teachers might be less confident in their knowledge. Third, the placement of economics in the high school curriculum is sometimes the source of problems. Economics is frequently offered to second semester seniors. Keeping such students involved and interested can be difficult. Finally, students often have preestablished negative opinions of economics before they have even begun to study it. Many think that economics is a dry subject full of complicated graphs and boring examples. So how is a teacher supposed to teach economics under these circumstances? answer is simple: We recommend using an activity-based approach. What Is Activity-Based Economics? We use the term activity-based economics to describe an approach to teaching economics that includes three important components: an active learning methodology, consistent application of the economic way of thinking, and a focus on sound and challenging economic content. When students are engaged in the study of economics by using economic reasoning and focusing on economic behavior, they are more likely to understand the concept being taught and its importance. Rote memorization may provide an appearance of cognition, but actions actually verify this understanding. Active Learning Methodology With activity-based economics, students are actively engaged in the lessons. With guidance from the teacher, they become active participants in the learning process. They take part in different types of simulations, group decision making, problem solving, classroom demonstrations, role-plays, and group presentations. students are doing, not just hearing and seeing. rationale for using active learning is firmly based in pedagogical theory and research. Active, participatory lessons are effective in helping students remember and apply abstract concepts. From underachievers to honors students, all students can take part, succeed, and benefit from the activities. Both group interaction and, cooperative learning methods encourage social growth as well as cognition. In addition to the pedagogical rationale, students simply enjoy learning economics this way and become more interested in the subject matter. It is also a lot of fun for teachers. Economic Way of Thinking Equally important, however, is that activity-based economies depends on the classroom teacher's ability to engage students' minds and encourage them to make choices and solve problems while applying principles of sound economic reasoning. social sciences seek to explain and analyze human behavior, and economics is no exception. Economies is more than a bundle of concepts. study of economics revolves around a way of thinking, a way of making choices and evaluating decisions. This unique way of thinking offers insights into the seemingly chaotic behavior resulting from different values, resources, and cultures. It is a new lens through which to view the world. According to John Maynard Keynes, The Theory of Economics does not furnish a body of settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy. It is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, a technique of thinking that helps its possessor to draw correct conclusions. …" @default.
