A Focus On Teaching

I continue to see signs that interest in teaching is growing, even among economists. For example, until last year the Journal of Economic Literature listed "teaching of economics" as one of 130 subcategories its editors used to index articles and abstracts. But under a new system introduced in March of 1991, "General Economics and Teaching" is now one of 19 major categories, and "teaching of economics" itself makes up five subcategories. This greater emphasis has not yet increased the number of teaching articles indexed (the total increased slightly from 49 in 1990 to 51 in 1991), but the number of articles abstracted increased from none in 1990 to eight in 1991. As the German physicist Heisenberg noted, the very act of observing phenomena can alter them.
