Abstract

This paper discusses the scope of input-process-output diagrams in teaching introductory microeconomics. Research shows that teachers and students both benefit when visual aids are used in classrooms and since input-process-output diagrams are visual in nature, they can benefit the teaching and learning of important economic concepts such as production, concepts related to production, and economic modeling. In addition, input-process-output diagrams are also used in other areas of study, such as computer science and business studies, and hence their use in economics classrooms and textbooks can lead to an easier and better understanding of certain concepts.
