Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Learn before the lecture: An inquiry into a flipped classroom design in undergraduate Economic teaching

Undergraduate Economics teaching is currently dominated by the traditional “chalk and talk” style of lecturing. There has been little progress in the implementation of alternative learning pedagogies in undergraduate Economics classrooms. A growing body of research has advocated for the use of active learning techniques in undergraduate Economics teaching with a view to improving student engagement and learning outcomes. In this presentation the author describes her experiment with a flipped classroom model in a second-year Macroeconomics module. The presentation will outline the methodology used to redesign this course and presents the main findings and resulting outcomes from the experiment.
