- W2184673534 abstract "Many students feel that Economics is far too abstract, unrealistic and irrelevant. On the other hand, Economics teachers tend to pay insufficient heed to empirical evidence when teaching abstract concepts and theories. This paper, therefore, seeks to examine the rationale and scope for the demystification of abstraction in Economics education. The author as a classroom practitioner for more than sixteen years, has realized that the majority of students studying Economics both at school and tertiary level display difficulties in grasping economic concepts. Probably this is due to the abstractness of concepts dealt with in Economics. The other contributing factor is that the majority of students lack a sound background in Economics and Mathematics. To counter these stumbling blocks there is need for Economics teachers to adopt a practical approach. It is imperative that teachers explain terms and concepts and use relevant illustrations which relate theory to real life situations. When presenting graphical illustrations and mathematical demonstrations, teachers should not rush in order to facilitate mastery of the concepts being taught. Students understand abstract concepts better if teachers employ pragmatic instructional strategies. Teaching by helping students to reflect on their day-to-day experiences promotes effective learning." @default.
