Abstract

This paper describes a project of Educational Innovation that presents a workshop on economic press as part of the subjects of Economics taught in the degree in Business (DCE) and the degree in Labour Studies (CCTT) at the University of Huelva, Spain. The main objective of this workshop is to promote both self-regulated, collaborative learning, and motivation in the classroom. The methodology used in this workshop consists of guided study of economic news to help consolidate knowledge taught in the theory classes and to foster the application of theory to concrete problems, as well as to encourage reasoning and analysis of different articles in focus groups. The workshop was assessed by means of a questionnaire that allows identification of the impact of theoretical concepts on understanding and on student assessment and satisfaction. The results reveal that the workshop stimulates understanding of the theoretical concepts presented in economic theory.
