Using Field Experiments to Change the Template of How We Teach Economics

In this article, the author explains why field experiments can improve what we teach and how we teach economics. Economists no longer operate as passive observers of economic phenomena. Instead, they participate actively in the research process by collecting data from field experiments to investigate the economics of everyday life. This change can be shown to students by presenting them with evidence from field experiments. Field experiments related to factor markets, behavioral economics, and discrimination are presented to explain how this approach works across different economic content. The three questions that are highlighted are the following: (1) Why do women get paid less than men in labor markets? (2) How can we use behavioral economics to motivate teachers? (3) What seven words can end third-degree price discrimination?     

高校教材管理网络化建设的思考与实践

随着我国高等教育事业的迅猛发展和教学改革的不断深入,基于传统教材管理模式下的教材管理信息系统越来越不能适应新形势的要求。本文从当前我国高等教育改革和发展的要求出发,分析高校教材管理信息化建设的现状和发展前景,探索适应学生个性化培养的教材管理新模式,研究高校教材管理网络化建设的途径和方法。     

中职专业教材编写团队的组成与作用发挥

研制中职专业教材,要具有先进的课程理念,打破一本教材几个人编写、每位编写人员各编若干章节的传统编模式,组成由一位领衔人和学科专家、技术专家、实训教学研究人员、课程专家、教育学与心理学研究人员和教材编制技术人员等参加的研制团队,共同编写每个项目及其中的每个工作任务,各类专家都应在教材中发挥专长,以提高教材质量。     

浅谈如何使中职语文课程教材现代化

教育的本质是培养人，但教育的培养目标与培养对象是具有历史性和时代性的。因此，教材也要不断改革，教材也要现代化，以适应社会对人才培养的需要。教师是教材的使用者，更应该以学生为本，“因生取材”，因材施教。语文是多元的，是一个无明确领域界限的学科，语文的外延就是生活。教师大可从现实生活中汲取精华来充实教材内容，加强所学内容的实用性、有趣性、科学性等，以激发学生的内在求知需要，这无疑是调动学习动机的最为直接也是极为有效的方式。     

The Effects of Employment Mobility on the State Retirement Benefits of College Faculty Members

The possible consequences on retirement benefits of a change in employment are identified. A model to estimate the impact is described.     

An Economic Model of Faculty Grading Practices

The statistical evidence examined by the author indicates that faculty members with relatively few students tend to assign higher grades than would be expected otherwise. In evaluating student achievement and faculty performance, therefore, one must not only be aware of this association, but also be able to assess its significance.     

Trends in Undergraduate Economics Degrees: An Update

The author examines the effects of different introductory microeconomics textbooks on student performance in subsequent economics courses (specifically, Intermediate Microeconomics I and Money and Banking). In some cases, the effects are significant and sizeable. There is also evidence of other variables affecting student performance in later courses, such as taking first-year microeconomics by distance, math background, effects of having taken other economics courses, and the time between introductory economics and later courses.     

论独立学院教育教材的建设
