Abstract

Along with experience teaching microeconomics, the authors have found that the accuracy of the concepts used and graphic tools, as well as the broad mathematical analytical foundation used by this discipline, draw a stage where some students may feel lost, particularly when they face multiple choice questions. That’s why it’s not unusual to find some people that are not able to get good marks, even when they have a quite good level on microeconomics knowledge. This work deals with an on-line training, based on Moodle platform, to provide students some tools to achieve the best results on their qualifications. The authors used a base data with multiple choice questions on microeconomics to train on solving this kind of questions. The authors presented three different types of questions, based on graphics, on mathematics and on understanding and internalization of microeconomic concepts. Results have shown that this is a practical way to get success in examinations. At the same time, some interesting differences were found on behaviour paths for women, who seem need less time to review the lessons, and men.
