Student engagement and interaction in the economics classroom: Essentials for the novice economic educator

Carlos Asarta

The Journal of Economic Education, 2024, vol. 55, issue 1, 54-62

Abstract: Faculty often report limited student engagement in their economics courses. This deficiency makes it challenging for educators to excite students about our field, a situation that could have ripple effects in terms of the number of students who graduate as economics majors. For students, the lack of classroom engagement makes it unappealing to attend lectures and may hamper their learning outcomes. This article offers essential ideas, tools, activities, and resources that have been carefully filtered, curated, and annotated to lower the startup costs for new economic educators to maximize student engagement and interactions in their economics classrooms. Additionally, the resources presented in this article can be leveraged by more seasoned educators looking for ways to take their teaching to the next level.
