Economic Models in German Textbooks: An Analysis of Textbooks for Teaching Economics in Upper Secondary School
Friebel-Piechotta, Stephan
Journal of Social Science Education, v21 n2 p81-113 2022
Purpose: The study investigated how economic models are presented in textbooks for upper secondary school in Germany, and which forms of engagement are initiated by tasks related to the models. Design/methodology/approach: The available textbooks for teaching economics in upper secondary school in Germany (n=47) were examined using a deductive qualitative content analysis according to Mayring (2015). The category scheme was developed on the basis of a target content concept for thinking in economic models in class. Findings: On the one hand, central economic models are discussed in many textbooks. On the other hand, there are gaps in the presentations and tasks on models in many textbooks. This is especially true for the use of models as analytical tools, but also for model reflection.
