Economics (82)In recent years there has been growing concern that the teaching of economics is lagging behind other disciplines in implementing innovations that engage students more actively in the learning process. To address this problem, our project is exploring a set of previously-NSF-funded teaching innovations from STEM disciplines that have demonstrated success, in terms of instructor use, student learning, and professional research, and is investigating their adaptability into economics education. The project is making significant intellectual contributions to the economics education knowledge base by: (1) undertaking a comprehensive analysis of six well-developed teaching innovations in STEM disciplines and applying them to economics education; (2) field-testing these teaching innovations, with a special focus on assessing the applicability of these innovations in economics, the linkages between modern learning theory and classroom experience, and the incorporation of new assessment techniques; and (3) providing an external review of our analysis and assessment of class-based field-testing by experts in economic education and STEM-related fields.

经济学（82）近年来，人们越来越担心经济学教学在实施创新方面落后于其他学科，使学生更积极地参与学习过程。 为了解决这个问题，我们的项目正在探索一套以前由NSF资助的STEM学科的教学创新，这些创新在教师使用，学生学习和专业研究方面取得了成功，并正在调查它们对经济学教育的适应性。该项目通过以下方式为经济学教育知识库做出了重大的智力贡献：（1）对STEM学科中六项成熟的教学创新进行全面分析，并将其应用于经济学教育;（2）实地测试这些教学创新，特别侧重于评估这些创新在经济学中的适用性，现代学习理论与课堂经验之间的联系，以及纳入新的评估技术;以及（3）由经济教育和STEM相关领域的专家对我们对基于班级的实地测试的分析和评估进行外部审查。
