Beskrivning

Innovative and timely, this book explores how to develop economic education by providing a framework for improving research into the field. Sam Allgood and KimMarie McGoldrick analyse what is known about trends in course enrollments, pedagogies, and outcomes to identify gaps in understanding.Using a framework of relevance, belonging, and growth mindset, Rethinking Economics Education showcases how educators can connect classroom experiences to students’ lives, fostering a sense of community and encouraging the belief that anyone can succeed. The book promotes a backward approach to course construction and research planning, by clearly identifying goals and then making choices that allow the outcomes to be achieved. By focusing on inclusion and innovation, it addresses disparities in participation and success, especially for women and underrepresented groups, and inspires educators to create classrooms where all students can thrive.This is an important and accessible book for economic education researchers as well as economics instructors who are looking to improve their practice in order to get more students in the classroom, retain those students, and improve results across different demographics.

Recensioner i media

‘Allgood and McGoldrick confront the fundamental questions that should guide every educator: What do we teach, how do we teach it, and for whom? Because teaching and learning are rarely central to PhD training, many academics often lack the means to reflect critically on their own practice. This book provides a vital framework for rigorous, inclusive, and effective research in economics education, alongside a practical path for instructors aspiring to better teaching.’
