Basic Interactive Methods of Teaching Economics

Abstract

The article explores the basic interactive methods of teaching economics, emphasizing their significance in enhancing student engagement, fostering critical thinking, and improving retention of economic concepts. Traditional teaching methods often fail to actively involve students, which can limit their understanding of complex economic theories and real-world applications. The paper discusses various interactive approaches such as case studies, role-playing, debates, simulations, and collaborative group activities, illustrating how these methods can transform the learning environment into a dynamic, student-centered experience. Through these techniques, students are encouraged to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios, enhancing both their analytical skills and their ability to make informed decisions. The article also highlights the challenges and considerations in integrating interactive methods into economics curricula and offers practical recommendations for educators to effectively implement these strategies in diverse classroom settings.
