Disseminating Experiments in Economics with the Econport Digital Library

经济学（82）经济学是本科课程的重要组成部分，实验融入经济学课程已被证明有利于帮助学生学习微观经济学原理。 这些实验使本科生能够反思他们对经济激励措施的反应以及制度安排的作用，从而比他们使用互动性较低的学习环境更深入地了解经济模型。然而，许多机构缺乏资源来发展自己的专用实验经济学设施。 在开发经济学数字图书馆EconPort的基础上，该项目正在进行一项全国性的努力，向来自全国各地各种两年制和四年制大学的数百名教师传播实验。 教师们在研讨会上了解这些实验，以及如何将它们融入他们的课程，研讨会主要与全国各地的经济学会议一起举行。 形成性项目评价为研讨会材料的开发和呈现提供信息;总结性评价涉及研讨会的有效性以及经济学实验的使用如何塑造成功的教学策略。

Economics (82) Economics is a critical component of the undergraduate curriculum, and the integration of experiments into economics courses has proven beneficial in helping students to learn microeconomics principles. Such experiments enable undergraduates to reflect on their responses to economic incentives and on the role of institutional arrangements, thus gaining a deeper understanding of economic models than they have acquired using less-interactive learning environments. However, many institutions lack the resources to develop their own dedicated experimental economics facilities. Building on work to develop EconPort, an economics digital library, this project is undertaking a national effort to disseminate experiments to hundreds of instructors from a diverse set of two- and four-year colleges around the country. Instructors learn about the experiments, and how to integrate them into their courses, at workshops that are held primarily in conjunction with economics conferences around the country. Formative project evaluation is informing the development and presentation of the workshop materials; summative evaluation addresses the efficacy of the workshops and how the use of economics experiments shapes successful teaching strategies.
