## In short

Builds DSRP into a secondary and college economics curriculum as the pedagogical spine, with a companion series of posts on teaching each individual rule.

## What they found (results)

Produces classroom sequences - the labor market worked through all four patterns - that replace memorization with structure the students construct through inquiry.

## What they set out to do (purpose)

A curriculum-design post on using DSRP to teach economics, walking one labor-market example through each of the four patterns.

These researchers were not testing DSRP. The finding is theirs; the correspondence to DSRP is drawn by this site.
