An Organonic and Modern Problems Approach for Teaching Agricultural Economics Principles
主张在农业经济学原理课程中更强调现代问题和有机整体教学法，以激发学生想象力、培养协作与独立学习能力，并指出当前流行的格言式教学法（如程序教学、电视和计算机辅助教学）的弊端。
Abstract Instructors in principles courses should consider placing greater emphasis on modern problems and organonic teaching techniques to increase students' proficiency in agricultural economics. These techniques will stimulate student imaginations, modify learning styles toward collaborative and independent learners, and stimulate interest in the subject matter. Unfortunately, recent developments in teaching principles are aphoristic techniques, including programmed learning, television, and computer‐aided instruction. These aphoristic techniques stifle students' imaginations, contribute to a dependent learning style, and fail to stimulate interest in the subject matter. The degree of instructors' adoption of modern problems and organonic techniques depend on their teaching abilities, class size, types of students, and how their courses blend into the curriculum.
