Abstract
Because many students in four-year colleges have transferred from junior colleges, it is important to know something about the quality and effectiveness of the instruction they received in the two-year schools. Weidenaar and Dodson add to the growing literature on economic education in two-year colleges with this report on the effectiveness of economics instruction, factors influencing student performance, and student attitudes toward economics. The TUCE was used in the 10 schools participating in the study. The predictor variables included sex, economics background, major field, mathematics background, age, precourse grade expectations, interest in economics, ACT scores and others. The instructor's background and experience were also considered in terms of their effects upon student test performance.
