Leeds Economics: Advances in Pedagogy (LEAP)

Scholarship and Research Group

Scholarship and Research in Economics Education (SRiEE) is a forum for sharing good practice in economics and student education. It is a focal point for developing new scholarship, research, and funding, both within the group and in partnership with our students and other partners. 

Group members are active in national and international economics educational networks, including the Economics Network, the Chartered Association of Business Schools and the Northern Economics Network, which was co-established by the group, and a pedagogy group in the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy.

The group is committed to advancing pedagogy via research and scholarship focused in these areas:

Well-being, inclusive teaching and transition

Projects in this area are exploring methods of increasing female participation in Economics, welcome, induction and transition, and belonging.

Curriculum and teaching design

Work in this area spans from overarching principles of pluralist economics curriculum design to concrete examples of how economics can be broadened using specific classroom activities and resources.

Feedback and assessment

Current and recent activity here addresses mechanisms of providing effective feedback and feed-forward, including offering advice on avoiding plagiarism.
