Abstract: This study will implement a
randomized controlled trial of a social
studies curriculum that uses a problembased instructional approaches to teach
high school economics. Economics is a
required course for high school
graduation in California, and will be
added in Arizona in 2007; the National
Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) will test economics in 2006. The
curriculum approach is intended to
increase class participation and content
knowledge and has been shown to
differentially benefit low-achieving
students. This study will target rural
and urban high schools. The
experimental condition requires
teachers to attend a 5-day workshop in
summer 2007 during which they will be
provided with curriculum materials for
PBE and training for using these
materials. High school seniors will
receive instruction from their teachers
using the problem-based instructional
approach. Teacher and student
outcomes focus on differences in
content knowledge in economics,
compared to the control group.
