Conference on Advancing the Integration of New Technologies into the Undergraduate Teaching of Economics

拨款申请建议在匹兹堡大学与《经济教育杂志》联合举办一次会议。这次会议旨在推动将新的教学技术整合到本科生的经济学教学中，由于项目叙述中概述的原因，本科生在利用新的创新教学方法方面进展缓慢。拟议中的会议将审查最近新技术的应用，以及克服减缓创新步伐的体制障碍和其他障碍的方法。演讲者将经过仔细的筛选，以确保所讨论的教学方法要么证明了有效性，要么具有监测学生学习贡献的内在能力。会议记录将在经济教育杂志的专题期刊上传播，论文摘要将在JEE的网站上查阅。主办方建议通过与与会者合作应用和评估该计划中的教学方法来跟进会议。

The grant application proposes a conference to be held at the University of Pittsburgh, in association with the Journal of Economic Education. The conference aims to advance the integration of new instructional technologies into the teaching of economics at the undergraduate level which, for reasons outlined in the project narrative, has been slow to take advantage of new and innovative teaching methods. The proposed conference will review recent applications of new technologies and ways of overcoming institutional and other obstacles that have slowed the pace of innovation. Presenters will be carefully screened to assure that the teaching methods discussed have either demonstrated effectiveness or built-in capabilities for monitoring contributions to student learning. The conference proceedings will be disseminated in a topical issue of the Journal of Economic Education and abstracts of the papers will be available at the JEE's web site. The organizers propose to follow-up the conference by working with participants to apply and evaluate the teaching methods featured in the program.
