Pillars that support research, teaching and learning in the economy discipline

Abstract

This article, supported by a bibliography review, presents the approaches used in research and teaching-learning for the Economics syllabus. As starting point, we raise this question: which approaches teachers may use to conduct researches in Economics and mediate teaching-learning of this syllabus or others similar? We establish a main goal which is to analyze the most recommended approach in Economics research as well as the most helpful teaching-learning methods applicable in this subject. The article argues that Economics Science, although belonging to Social Science, has a particularity that makes diverse approaches available to researchers, whether those effective in Factual Science whether those known as Formal Science. As teaching-learning methods, Economics Syllabus uses active learning methods. But isolated these methods are not perfectly useful to permit teachers and students reach learning goals.
