“新制度经济学”案例教学的思考

Case Teaching of New Institutional Economics

“新制度经济学”课程,内容庞杂,文献晦涩难懂,案例教学是一种适宜的教学方法。案例教学应坚持科学方法论的指导地位,启发学生从多角度构建科学假说来解释经济现象,并用事实来验证提出的假说,淘汰被事实推翻的假说,保留暂且未被证伪的科学理论,使经济学教育从传授知识为主向经济学思维训练为主转变。案例教学是一个系统工程,不应当局限于课堂教学,而应当贯穿于课堂教学、课后作业、科研训练、课程考核、课程评价及教材编著等各个教学环节。系统的案例教学训练,有益于培养学生构建科学理论解释经济现象的经济学思维能力。

Case teaching is an appropriate teaching method for the course of institutional economics,which is complicated in content and difficult to understand in literature.Case teaching should adhere to the guiding position of scientific methodology,inspire students to construct scientific hypotheses to explain economic phenomena from multiple perspectives,and verify the hypotheses with facts.Eliminate hypotheses that have been disproved by facts and preserve scientific theories that have not yet been disproved.Case teaching is a systematic project,which should not be limited to classroom teaching,but should run through all teaching links,such as classroom teaching,homework,scientific research training,course assessment,course evaluation and textbook compilation.Systematic case teaching training is beneficial to the cultivation of students’economic thinking ability to construct scientific theories to explain economic phenomena.
