Studying like a nerd: Spacing, self-testing, and explanatory questioning in principles of microeconomics

August 29, 2023

International Review of Economics Education

Dr. Gabriel Martinez, a faculty member and academic community leader for the CUNY SPS online business programs, published "Studying like a nerd: Spacing, self-testing, and explanatory questioning in principles of microeconomics" in the International Review of Economics Education. The article describes how Dr. Martinez, in his Principles of Microeconomics course, tested the theory that learning science insights--an "active learning" pedagogy based on spacing, self-testing, and explanatory questioning--improves learning as compared to the "Chalk-and-Talk” traditional pedagogies that demand less of the student. His results suggest that the learning science insights helped both the middle-of-the-road and weak students improve their grades.
