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。会议旨在推进新的教学技术融入本科经济学教学，由于项目叙述中概述的原因，利用新的创新教学方法进展缓慢。拟议的会议将审查新技术的最新应用情况以及克服减缓创新步伐的体制障碍和其他障碍的方法。演讲者将被仔细筛选，以确保所讨论的教学方法已经证明是有效的，或者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》的一个专题中分发，论文摘要将在JEE的网站上提供。组织者建议通过与与会者合作来跟进会议，以应用和评估该计划中的教学方法。

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.
