Abstract

Responding to the call for further research in economic education in the two-year colleges, the authors report on the relative effectiveness of economics instruction for transfer and terminal courses. They attempt to answer the question: Do the two types of courses often found in junior colleges produce different learning outcomes? Furthermore, the researchers compare student performance in the two-year colleges with that of students in a four-year institution. Among the variables taken into account are age, type of school, student's class standing, precourse interest in economics, sex, and high school economics background. In a concluding section, the policy implications of the findings are discussed.
