That effort directed dollars that built Black banks, grocery stores and generated Black employment within the community. We desperately need that type of effort again, which would lead to people not having to seek illegal ways of making money. How can we say we are learning the concept of "feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and looking out for the least of these" yet allow our dollars to build up other communities than our own? It makes no sense for so many other ethnic groups to own so many businesses in our community that clearly we have the talent to own ourselves. For instance, a beauty supply store could not survive in the Black community without Black women’s patronage. So why don’t more Blacks own and operate them and keep the jobs and money in our community? We buy gas, but don’t own and manage gas stations. Why not open a Black business mart that has nothing in it but Black businesses?

Problem Based Economics is a student-relevant, highly participatory way to teach abstract economics principles that many students find difficult to understand. In Problem Based Economics: Students confront a realistic dilemma that, through analysis, investigation, research, and discussion allows for more than one possible solution; Students discover that knowledge of economics is essential to understanding and solving the problem; Students become intrigued by the problem they are addressing, and motivated to learn the standards-based economic content. BIE worked with a group of high school economics teachers and economics experts to develop the Problem Based Economics units . These units address all of the high school standards set forth in the Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics. Field tests and ongoing evaluation studies in a variety of classrooms have demonstrated the effectiveness of the units.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC We live in an information-rich society, one in which, via various forms of technology, information on almost any topic can be obtained nearly instantaneously. The proliferation of such information technology has begun to make its way into the nation's schools in the form of, among other things, instructional resources such as videodiscs, CD-ROMs and other computer-driven materials, and the nearly ubiquitous World Wide Web (WWW). Indeed, in 1996, 64% of schools nationwide had WWW access (Coley et al., 1997). INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS Teachers who use the WWW as an instructional resource are interested in acquiring knowledge of economic concepts and principles (e.g., supply and demand, marginal cost, etc.) and in identifying instructional plans that might be used to teach these various economics concepts. The following WWW sites are excellent examples:

> Cohort Process > Cohort Steps > Cohort Teams > Cohort Support Contact Us Site Map Web site Abstract Plan Learning Objects Many high school students don't have enough opportunities to learn about economics. This cohort is working to create online resources that will be used by high school students to learn about economics. "I sense that there is definitely a fear of economics out there just because people don't know what it is," said Shala London, technology coordinator for the Online Economics Lessons for High School Teachers cohort. "If they know what it is and know that the terms are basic logical concepts that will create more interest." That familiarity with economics is just what the Online Economics Lessons cohort is hoping to create. Most high schools don't require economics for graduation. When it is required, kids usually don't take it until senior year. Since state assessments, which include economics principles, are administered during junior year, this poses a problem. "There's so much to fit in that economics has [been] put on the sidelines," Shala said. "We believe that economics training needs to start early and it can start as early as kindergarten." In response to this issue, the cohort has been working to increase students' exposure to economics while they're in high school by providing instructors with economics lessons via the web that incorporate the national and local standards. The cohort made it easy for instructors to integrate the lessons because they aren't only for teachers with economics backgrounds; there are lessons available for a variety of disciplines from elementary through high school classes. "I'm very interested in technology and educational technology," Shala said. "That's why this project interested me."

One example of an animation that has been used effectively in class is the standard competitive model showing the market and the unit-cost curves of a representative firm. This is augmented with two additional quadrants showing the budget-line indifference curve diagram and demand curve for a representative consumer. The animations show the short- and long-run effects of demand shifts and changes in production costs. A second example shows how the expected utility model relates to the standard indifference curve analysis (i.e., the Arrow-Debreu contingent claims approach to uncertainty). By studying animations showing the expected utility diagram directly above the indifference curve diagram, the user can visualize how changes in the probability of ending up in the bad state of the world correspond to changes in the shape the indifference curves. Linking the von Neumann-Morgenstern utility and classical indifference curve approaches in this way makes it easier to understand how insurance demand is related to risk aversion. This construct is used to demonstrate Arrow's result that risk-averse individuals will always choose full insurance whenever the insurance contract is actuarially fair.

Economics and International Studies: undergraduate study postgraduate study staff ... contact the Department Other information: about the University Teaching methods Home Studying and courses Academic departments Economics and International Studies ... Undergraduate study Teaching methods The Department employs a variety of teaching methods in different courses. Lectures and small group tutorials form the backbone of the teaching. Personal contact with members of the academic staff is considered to be essential if each student's personal enthusiasm for their studies is to be stimulated. A range of activities is pursued within the tutorial groups depending upon the course. Some courses emphasise problem solving as a means of reinforcing and cementing the important ideas - for example the course in Microeconomic Theory. Occasionally we use game playing to encourage discussion and understanding - for example when competing groups of students try to control a computer model of the economy in Principles of Macroeconomics. Other courses place greater emphasis on writing short and accurate technical pieces (Welfare Economics) or longer more discursive papers (Culturalism).

The importance of economics in the curriculum is one of the features that sets SAIS apart from other schools. As part of the Masters of Arts in International Relations, all students must complete a concentration in international economics. The curriculum in international economics is intended to provide students with both a solid understanding of economic concepts and an understanding of how economics plays an important role in many issues of international affairs. This training in economics provides sufficient knowledge to allow students to work effectively on international matters in either the public or private sectors of international affairs.
