| सारांश: | Final report of a Teaching Fellowship at Griffith University. This Fellowship program was motivated by the need to improve the quality of the student learning experience in undergraduate economics, as evidenced by declining enrolments and poor teaching ratings in Australian university economics over at least two decades. The evidence indicates that the best way to improve the learning experience of students in economics is to engage students more actively in a student-centred teaching and learning process. A practical way of achieving this is through classroom 'experiments' which is shorthand here for a range of active learning approaches that include games, simulations and role-plays. The Fellowship program consisted of professional development activities that included: developing and disseminating electronic resources on classroom games in economics; conducting workshops for academics to promote the use of classroom games; disseminating the value of classroom games through new contributions to the academic literature on pedagogy in economics; and seeking to evaluate the effectiveness of classroom experiments in economics. |
