Abstract
This article discusses several principles of learning and presents a simple model for the development of economics instruction. It is the contention of the author that in designing and evaluating teaching methods the learning outcomes desired are seldom considered. Professor Van Metre feels that the value of course objectives (behavioral objectives) is that the students learn more if they know what it is they are supposed to learn. One method of instruction also does not cover a variety of learning outcomes. Hence, instructors should look for flexible learning systems which embody the appropriate teaching methods as indicated by the outcomes desired. It is also possible that evaluation instruments like the TUCE do not measure the behavioral objectives the teacher had in mind.
