Economics had been taught at the twelfth grade level for many years, but now an effort would be made to infuse economics into the curriculum at every grade level. In January of 1981 a two-day workshop was held for the participating teachers. In ten hours of classroom contact, the teachers received instruction in basic economics and in method of teaching economic concepts at their grade levels. Plans were made to test the effectiveness of the pilot program in eleventh grade American History classes. The high school teachers received copies of the manuals "Teaching Economics in American History," and "Strategies for Teaching Economics: United States History (Secondary)," published by the Joint Council on Economic Education. Two control classes were dropped from the experiment because the proctor reported serious discipline problems during the administration of the test. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1982 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
