Title of the Presentation: “Evaluating the Impact of Supplemental Instruction in Introductory Economics Courses on Grades”
Abstract: At Towson University, students struggle in introductory economics courses. To assist students with the rigorous coursework, we implemented Supplemental Instruction (SI), a proven approach in STEM courses. The program began in academic year (AY) 2021-22 and has grown from impacting 16 to 75 percent of the 1,600 students who take introductory microeconomics and statistics courses each year. We use administrative data to evaluate the impact of SI on student achievement. Students who attend SI review sessions do just under half a letter grade better than students who do not attend SI review sessions; however, the causal evidence is inconclusive. Less than 30 percent of students with SI attended at least one review session, and on average, students attended 4 to 5 SI sessions. Black students are more likely to utilize SI sessions compared to their White peers. Female students attend more SI sessions than their male peers. Future work will investigate potential explanations for these results.
