Abstract

This paper discusses an approach to economics education based on transformative learning theory and Roger’s humanistic approach. The aim is to make the study of Economics more related to the students’ lives, enhancing their motivation to engage with Economics material. The author proposes the use of proverbs from around the world as a way of challenging students' meaning perspectives, and describe my experience of using this approach in the classroom.
