This paper discusses the implementation of experiential learning techniques in a
behavioural economics class. In order to deepen students’ understanding of both
behavioural economics and the experimental approach to research students in the
course developed and conducted variants of economic experiments.We believe
that the process of designing and implementing the experiments fostered a better
understanding of the material than simply participating in classroom experiments
would have done. Students worked in small groups to develop their versions of the
experiments.Thus, the complete process promoted genuine active learning by
engaging the students both individually and collectively.
