Teaching Economics in the technical college

Abstract

The interest and value that Economics can have is considerably enhanced in the case of most students in further education by their recent entry into the world of work, and into the concern of that world with such matters as buying and spending, budgeting and saving, piece‐rates and time‐rates, and strikes, redundancy, and unemployment. On the other hand, the mental calibre of many of these students is low, while Economics is not a particularly easy subject to study. Again, a lecturer often has to teach Economics at many different levels, perhaps ranging from a discussion group in Liberal Studies in a craft course at one extreme, to Finals B.Sc.(Econ.) at the other. The present article is concerned mainly with the lower levels of classes.
