Reasons why Students say “NO NO” in learning Economics:

• Use of Graphs and Algebra• Long equations, short answers.• Most of the Teachers cannot motivate students

because he himself doesn’t have enough knowledge to teach such or is afraid to teach such.

• Drowning students into deep sea equations & forgetting the individual & social dimensions that these equations tend to show.

Solutions that an Economic Teacher should apply in his Economic class:

• Make use of:WEALTH as subject of analysis of

Economic Science.POWER as the theme assigned to

Political Science. CULTURE is within the Academic domain of the Behavioral Sciences.

Solutions that an Economic Teacher should apply in his Economic class:

• Never drown students to analytical equations. Rather, make effective learning activities to give students the opportunity to appreciate Economics in their daily lives. Students must feel their sense of presence inside the classroom w/ that subject.

• Teachers must be pages-chapters ahead to his students. Yet, he must measure his understanding FIRST if he is able to teach the lesson along the day rather than drowning students to analytical equations without being understood by the teacher himself.

Solutions that an Economic Teacher should apply in his Economic class:

• Teachers must be sensitive that there are 2 types of learners: slow learners and fast learners. In evaluating the lesson tackled through recitation, he must give knowledgeable questions to the slow learners and give analytical questions to the fast learners. “Learning is a process”.

• Provide a relevant book for them to used in their self-study.

“ Anything that’s worth having, is sure enough worth fighting for.Quilting's out of the question, when it gets tough, got to fight some more.Remember, nothing is IMPOSSIBLE!Because the word itself says I’M POSSIBLE.So change your thoughts & you’ll change the world.Change your thoughts & you will awake the world”.
