文摘

This study explores how economic reasoning of students can be improved in various teaching/learning conditions. Economic reasoning is supported by a reasoning tool, economic principles and communication rules. Student reasoning is measured on a pretest, a posttest, and a retention test. Interactions and experiences are recorded. Observing others and analyzing data is beneficial for student’s reasoning ability. Experiment participation triggers concrete experiences instead of abstract conceptualization.
