Abstract: We examined the level of economics knowledge of Albanian 11th grade and 12th grade students who had completed their required economics course. Our primary interest was how economics knowledge differed by student and teacher characteristics, particularly teacher training in market-oriented economics. The findings showed a significant increase of students’ economics knowledge after they completed the required economics course. The model accounted for 35% of the variance on the post-test scores of TEL, with type of teacher training a significant predictor of students’ economics knowledge.
