A matrix puzzle is presented as an alternative method to assess student comprehension in economics. It uses rows to denote changes in an economic situation and columns to denote the outcomes affected by the changes. Students use Y (yes) or N (no) to answer each cell in the matrix, which requires students to relate the change to a particular outcome. Examples of matrix puzzles are provided with some results from university classes and suggestions for constructing other matrix puzzles. A major advantage of the matrix puzzle is its holistic approach to assessment that requires students understand what is caused and not caused by an economic change, as well as its compact presentation.

使用矩阵谜题评估学生对经济学的理解

提出了一个矩阵难题作为评估学生对经济学理解能力的替代方法。它使用行来表示经济状况的变化,并使用列来表示受变化影响的结果。学生使用Y(是)或N(否)来回答矩阵中的每个单元格,这要求学生将更改与特定结果相关联。矩阵谜题的示例提供了一些大学课程的结果,以及一些有关构建其他矩阵谜题的建议。矩阵难题的一个主要优点是它的整体评估方法,要求学生了解经济变化是由什么引起而不是由什么引起,以及其紧凑的表示方式。
