“…Oleh karena itu, banyak guru menggunakan berbagai platform yang disukai oleh anak muda seperti podcast (Susilowati et al, 2020) dan platform video seperti YouTube dalam pembelajaran (Puspita et al, 2021). Penelitian dan literatur sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan klip film merupakan salah satu cara kreatif dalam pembelajaran (Berk, 2009;Carrasco-Gallego, 2017;Dalton & Logan, 2020;Diaz Vidal et al, 2020;Podemska-Mikluch et al, 2015). Film dianggap sebagai salah satu bentuk hiburan dan juga memiliki nilai edukatif jika dikelola dengan baik oleh guru.…”

“…Dalam pembelajaran ekonomi, penggunaan klip film juga dapat membantu siswa memahami konsep-konsep ekonomi secara holistik (L. P. Dewi & Rahmawati, 2022). Penggunaan film dalam pembelajaran ekonomi dapat membantu siswa memahami hubungan antara konsep-konsep ekonomi dengan kehidupan sehari-hari dan memberikan pengalaman belajar yang lebih menarik dan menyenangkan bagi siswa (Munir et al, 2023;Podemska-Mikluch et al, 2015).…”

Pembelajaran ekonomi sering kali didominasi oleh ceramah karena materinya yang padat. Namun, penggunaan cuplikan film sebagai alat bantu dalam menjelaskan materi dapat menjadi langkah inovatif yang menarik perhatian siswa dan membuat proses pembelajaran menjadi lebih holistik. Cuplikan film dapat memberikan koneksi antara materi dengan contoh-contoh kehidupan nyata yang jarang dijumpai siswa sehari-hari. Meski demikian, pendekatan ini membutuhkan kreativitas dari guru untuk memastikan koneksi tersebut berjalan sesuai harapan. Pelaksanaan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini dilakukan kepada guru-guru di SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Klaten Utara dengan tujuan memperkenalkan potensi metode pembelajaran inovatif ini. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini menunjukkan respon positif dari guru, namun ada kendala yang disampaikan oleh guru, yaitu perlunya pemahaman lebih mendalam tentang film apa yang sesuai dengan konteks materi, serta keterampilan dalam mengelola kelas agar tetap kondusif.

“…While only the final project proposal was set within the Harry Potter universe, students used Harry Potter as a springboard to engage business and professional communication with citizenship, social justice, and disability advocacy in our discussions of core concepts. Several scholars (Harrell & Morton, 2002; Nexon & Neumann, 2006; Podemska-Mikluch, Deyo, & Mitchell, 2016) have argued that the Harry Potter series provides readers with an opportunity to engage in citizenship and advocacy, since the series is an example of how to function as intelligent and responsible citizens. Furthermore, the series is set in a world where the evolution of technology has slowed in several areas—for example, the use of quills and parchment for writing, fireplaces for heating, and candles and gas lamps for lighting.…”

Despite the excellent work by scholars who invite us to consider disability, social justice, and business and professional communication pedagogy, little attention has been given to what a disability- and social-justice-centered business and professional communication course might look like in design and implementation. This case study offers an example of a simulation based within the Harry Potter universe that emphasizes the ways disability advocacy and civic engagement manifest themselves in foundational business writing theories and practices. This simulation enabled students to engage with social justice issues by understanding access as an essential part of business and professional communication.

“…Exceptions include Gouvin (2010) and Schooner (2010), who study the role of the Potterians' only bank, the Gringotts, and Snir & Levy (2010), who try to understand the reasons for the lack of economic growth in the Potterian economy. Podemska-Mikluch & Deyo (2014) and Podemska-Mikluch et al (2016) focus on the benefits of using Harry Potter series for undergraduate economics teaching. Salonikov et al (2022) find evidence that the Harry Potter books affect readers' perceptions of various economic issues including banks, bureaucracy and money.…”

Recent studies in psychology and neuroscience offer systematic evidence that fictional works exert a surprisingly strong influence on readers and have the power to shape their opinions and worldviews. Building on these findings, we study ‘Potterian economics’, the economic ideas, insights and structure, found in Harry Potter books, to assess how the books might affect economic literacy. A conservative estimate suggests that more than 7.3% of the world’s population has read the Harry Potter books, and millions more have seen their movie adaptations. These extraordinary figures underscore the importance of the messages the books convey. We explore the Potterian economic model and compare it to professional economic models to assess the consistency of the Potterian economic principles with the existing economic models. We find that some of the principles of Potterian economics are consistent with economists’ models. Many other principles, however, are distorted and contain numerous inaccuracies, contradicting professional economists’ views and insights. We conclude that Potterian economics can teach us about the formation and dissemination of folk economics—the intuitive notions of naïve individuals who see market transactions as a zero-sum game, who care about distribution but fail to understand incentives and efficiency and who think of prices as allocating wealth but not resources or their efficient use. ‘I think the writers [of popular literature] are not particularly sympathetic to or don’t understand how a market works. It’s not easy to convey that to a child. It’s not always easy to convey it to grown-ups.’ Gary Becker (New York Times, August 21, 2011, p. SR5). ‘With all due respect to Richard Posner, Cass Sunstein, or Peter Schuck [reference to the books these scholars published in 2005], no book released in 2005 will have more influence on what kids and adults around the world think about government than [Rowling’s] The Half-Blood Prince.’ Benjamin Barton (Michigan Law Review, 2006, p. 1525). ‘As economic theorists, we organize our thoughts using what we call models. The word “model” sounds more scientific than “fable” or “fairy tale” although I do not see much difference between them. The author of a fable draws a parallel to a situation in real life. He has some moral he wishes to impart to the reader. The fable is an imaginary situation that is somewhere between fantasy and reality. Any fable can be dismissed as being unrealistic or simplistic, but this is also the fable’s advantage. Being something between fantasy and reality, a fable is free of extraneous details and annoying diversions. In this unencumbered state, we can clearly discern what cannot always be seen in the real world. On our return to reality, we are in possession of some sound advice or a relevant argument that can be used in the real world.” Ariel Rubinstein (Econometrica, 2006, p. 881). ‘An investigation of novels and [economic] models…may help us better understand how the public thinks about economic issues.’ Tyler Cowen (The Street Porter and the Philosopher: Conversations on Analytical Egalitarianism, 2008, p. 321).
