About this course
In this course, we introduce the 'place' of Behavioural Economics in the specification and course content along with the prerequisite knowledge needed to effectively analyse and evaluate the topic, including rationality and consumer choice.
All theory is covered in the context of a wide range of examples, and with a strong focus on the skills needed for exam success, such as precise use of language, synoptic connections to other parts of the course and insightful examples. Throughout the entire course, we make suggestions for classroom activities and learning resources.
Who it's for
Perfect for new economics teachers, those returning to the economics classroom, or teachers wanting to approach their teaching in a different way. The course is suitable for teachers of the AQA A Level Economics specification in particular.
