Pedagogy Seminar - "Beyond Chalk and Talk". Bringing Economics to Life in the Classroom

Abstract: Traditional lectures alone often fall short in fully engaging students in economics. This seminar explores interactive and student-centered teaching strategies, including gamification, group work activities, and student-led case studies and debates that promote applied learning. Drawing on practical examples from my own teaching, I will discuss how these approaches have improved student motivation, deepened understanding of economic concepts, and created an active learning environment. The session will offer practical insights for educators looking to integrate innovative methods into their teaching and develop a more engaging and dynamic classroom experience.
