Some Evidence On The Value Of Instructors In Teaching Economic Principles
Abstract
Using data collected from three universities, the authors of this article attempt to show that student attitude is "an important dimension of learning" and that the quality of instruction is indeed associated with attitude. The attitude referred to here is that of student opinions toward economics (as measured by Karstensson's "Questionnaire on Student Attitude Toward Economics") rather than opinions on economic issues. Posttest scores on the TUCE and the attitude instrument were the dependent variables, while scores on the TUCE pretest, ACT scores, sex, major field, economics background, university attended, and quality of instruction were used as independent variables. © 1973 Taylor & Francis.
