• W23903944 abstract "Technology is having a profound impact on teaching and learning at the K-12 level and in higher education. Many observers have studied its impact on education in general. Only a few, however, have tried to determine how electronic resources can be used effectively in the teaching of economics. This paper identifies some findings to date, highlighting exemplary resources for their potential to help teachers foster economic understanding in various courses of units of study across the social sciences. Introduction The basic postulate of economics can be stated simply: incentives matter. While this assumption is specifically identified with economics, it is also relevant to several areas within the social studies, including history, geography, psychology, anthropology, and sociology. It holds that in conducting their ordinary lives, all individuals make personal choices about which desires to fulfill, needs to address, projects to advance, issues to raise, and dreams to pursue. These choices are affected by a scarcity condition--resources, including time, are scarce--and the scarcity condition requires people to make decisions, choosing among alternatives. The need to choose leads, in turn, to an ongoing need to weigh benefits against costs for the options in question. Social studies teachers need not have a strong formal background in economics to provide instruction informed by the points that incentives matter and that scarcity requires people to make choices. They can find helpful instructional resources to support their efforts via education websites, websites for economists, video clips and audio files, email, discussion boards, and web logs (blogs). These resources make it relatively easy and cost-effective for non-economists to integrate aspects of economics into well-established social studies presentations, assignments, and projects. The internet, in particular, can help instructors explore approaches to teaching economics in various social studies courses. It provides easy access to high quality materials, including primary sources and key data sets. The materials listed below indicate the range of possibilities. Tools for Teaching Economics in History History teachers will find the EH.Net website to be a useful tool. EH.Net manages the Economic History Services website and maintains several professional mailing lists. It provides resources and promotes communication among academics specializing in economic history and other social science fields. It provides historical data and relatively current data. Access to this rich, easy-to-use database allows instructors and students to test various historical claims about, for example, changes in U.S. Real and Nominal GDP from 1790 to 2005, population trends from 1790 to 2005, price levels as measured by the GDP deflator from 1790 to 2005, the annualized inflation rate from 1775 to 2005, and the relative cost of unskilled labor from 1774 to 2004. It also provides calculators to help students determine the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and the price of gold throughout time. It posts links to the U.S. Census data and other quantitative social science data. It provides access to articles, academic papers, discussions and book reviews on several American economic history topics. The Economic History Association, Business History Conference, Cliometric Society, Economic History Society, and History of Economics Society support EH.Net. History teachers and other social studies teachers looking for primary and secondary sources might also consider the Library of Congress. Learning resources for instructors and students are plentiful and varied in type. Webcasts are available, but we advise instructors to preview materials before using them in the classroom because many were produced for non-instructional purposes. Resources for Teaching the Economic Way of Thinking Several media outlets provide resources for teaching young people how to think economically. …" @default.
