Exploring Student Engagement in Digitally Enhanced Economics Courses: Reflections from a Teaching Innovation Initiative

Róbert Mészáros — 2025-12-31

This study explores the dynamics of student engagement in digitally enhanced economics courses by reflecting on a teaching innovation initiative implemented within a Slovak higher education context. In response to the growing demand for active learning and digital competencies in economics education, a structured pedagogical redesign was developed using blended instructional formats and digital tools. This paper presents a conceptual and experiential analysis of how the initiative was implemented across selected economics courses, including the design logic, technology integration, and pedagogical outcomes. Although the study does not employ empirical testing, it provides a grounded reflection on course development, tool selection, and student interaction within digitally mediated environments. The findings highlight the potential of well-integrated digital strategies to improve learner motivation, participation, and reflection, while also outlining the institutional and pedagogical challenges that emerged. This contribution extends the conversation on digital transformation in economics education by offering transferable insights for instructors and curriculum designers.

Fostering Critical Thinking through Digitally Mediated Pedagogy in Economics: Insights from a Conceptual Framework and Pilot Design

Karol Trnovský — 2025-12-31

The rapid integration of digital tools into university teaching environments has created new possibilities for developing higher-order cognitive competencies, particularly in fields requiring analytical and conceptual reasoning, such as economics. This paper presents a pedagogical framework that leverages digital technologies to foster critical thinking in economics education. Building on the principles of Education 4.0 and aligned with recent calls for learner-centred, evidence-informed teaching strategies, the study conceptualises a digitally mediated approach to curriculum design and instructional delivery. Rather than presenting empirical results, the paper develops and reflects on the pilot implementation of a framework that links specific digital tools (e.g., collaborative annotation platforms, gamified feedback systems, and visualisation tools) to defined learning outcomes and classroom scenarios. The framework is tailored to support the integration of formative assessment, collaborative engagement, and reflective learning. By emphasising conceptual clarity, pedagogical alignment, and technological relevance, the study contributes a novel and transferable model for embedding critical thinking development into the economics curriculum.
