The Teaching Information Processing System (TIPS) has been the subject of many research projects in economic education. Henry and Ramsett go beyond mere replication of previous studies, however, to add still another dimension to the work of Allen Kelley and others. The usual independent variables are included in their analysis, but the emphasis given to the benefits of TIPS as perceived by students is perhaps greater than that found in any other study of this teaching technique. Some consideration is also given to residual effects of TIPS and to installation costs. This report should prove valuable to any economics instructor contemplating the use of TIPS in the classroom.
Henry et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
