英文文献摘要:
Sharing with our students what we do as economists and how we do it can augment student learning in fundamental and interrelated ways. In particular, students learn to think like economists; to gain "information literacy;" to explain and synthesize their ideas clearly; and to engage themselves in the learning process. In this paper, I propose a curriculum to teach students how to access, chart and interpret macroeconomic data; to search and access peer-reviewed journal articles; and to formulate, in writing, positions on myriad economic issues, using empirical evidence and the extant academic literature to substantiate their positions. An assessment of the curriculum, which I instituted in fall 2001, demonstrated that students who participated were generally able to determine the extent of information needed to complete an empirical research prompt as well as to access and use the information effectively, efficiently and ethically. Moreover, most students could distinguish between general periodicals and scholarly journals.
与我们的学生分享我们作为经济学家所做的以及我们如何去做可以增强学生在基础和相互关联方面的学习。特别是,学生们学着像经济学家一样思考;获得“信息素养”,清晰地解释和综合自己的观点;并参与到学习过程中来。在本文中,我提出了一个课程,教学生如何获取、图表和解释宏观经济数据;搜索和访问同行评议的期刊文章;并以书面形式阐述对无数经济问题的立场,利用经验证据和现存的学术文献来证明他们的立场。对我在2001年秋季设立的课程的评估表明,参与课程的学生通常能够确定完成实证研究提示所需的信息的程度,以及有效、高效和合乎道德地获取和使用信息的程度。此外,大多数学生能够区分普通期刊和学术期刊。
