Zusammenfassung:The goal of economic education is to develop in students the thinking skills and economic knowledge necessary to become effective, participating citizens. The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine: (1) economic concepts being taught; and (2) teacher perceptions concerning economic education, within Idaho's K-12 schools, as a baseline for program evaluation and delivery.
