Model Visualization in Introductory and Intermediate Microeconomics

Overview

Much research has shown that novices and experts across the STEM disciplines differ markedly in how they approach and solve problems. Many STEM education scholars find that giving students scaffolded exercises in which they work with a visualization tool can be highly effective in teaching novices to think more like experts. Using model visualization software developed for EconGraphs.org, we have created more than 30 interactive exercises for introductory and intermediate-level microeconomics courses. Our work on the exercises for intermediate microeconomics is published in the International Review of Economics Education.

You can take a look at these exercises on our Resources page.
