Jeux pédagogiques. Vers un nouvel enseignement de la science économique

The inclusion of classroom experiments in courses is one of the major innovations in the teaching of economics. The experimental approach is a very efficient pedagogic tool that allows a more intuitive and comprehensive presentation of theoretical concepts without necessarily implying a less rigorous conception of the teaching. The aim of the present paper is to survey the literature on the use of classroom experiments. We discuss the pros and cons of the experimental method and we propose a survey of the available resources.
