Summary note

"Through this informative guide, the editor and contributing authors equip macroeconomics lecturers with tools and strategies to refresh their teaching content and practice. Building educators' confidence and inspiring the next generation of passionate economists, it emphasises active learning, critical thinking, and real-world applications, moving beyond traditional lecture-based instruction. Chapters explore innovative pedagogical approaches that incorporate critical contemporary topics, such as inequality and environmental challenges, into the macroeconomics curriculum. Expert authors provide guidance for instructors on how to update teaching models and to add historical context to holistically enhance student engagement with the subject. Furthermore, they provide strategies for engaging groups of students in large lectures, crafting problem sets that foster critical thinking and contribute to a more accessible and inclusive learning environment. Teaching Macroeconomics is an invaluable guide for educators teaching economics and macroeconomics at university level, helping them to update their curriculums. Lecturers in other social science disciplines will also use the insights presented here to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration"-- Provided by publisher.
