Date Issued:

Summary:
The desire to render college curricula and college teaching more effective has resulted in ever increasing debates about content and method of instruction of the Economic Principles Course. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the behavioral approach to the subject matter of a one quarter macro-principles course. In addition to the question of method the problematical aspects of content and purpose are also examined. The question of what to teach and to whom to teach it has not been resolved and an attempt is made in this thesis to provide a rationale for the development of a substantive content which would provide the student with means to make relatable interpretive use of the knowledge gained.
