Engaging in financial literacy education: Exploring debt with undergraduate studentsMange, Sive January 2021 (has links)
Magister Commercii - MCom / In this thesis I explored the teaching of debt literacy, a sub-topic of Financial Literacy Education. To do this, I used an arts-based framework to experiment with teaching debt literacy using poetry. Prior to the main poetry intervention, I explored several arts-based approaches such as frozen scenes, image theatre and drama-based pedagogies but I eventually settled on using poetry. Poetry as an arts-based approach to research within the field of financial literacy education is the research design. These two poems are produced as knowledge artefacts that can be used in further research studies or even by current students as teaching aids.

Exploring ways to deepen undergraduate students understanding of financial literacyKondlo, Ayanda January 2020 (has links)
Magister Commercii - MCom / This thesis reports on my investigation into undergraduate students' knowledge of financial literacy (FL) and explores ways of improving their FL by using and experimenting with alternative Financial Literacy Education (FLE) methods and techniques. In attempting this, I report on the educational interventions that I attempted. These are critical literacy approaches that included drama teaching techniques that formed part of a praxis approach to FLE.
Low levels of financial literacy are of great concern in South Africa because South Africans have high rates of debt which the researcher asserts are an indication of misconceptions, misunderstanding, and also a lack of financial literacy. South Africa needs to have undergraduate students that are financially literate who apply critical reasoning to make critical financial decisions.

The Politics of Teaching Financial Literacy Education: A Case Study of Critical High School Teachers’ Beliefs and Practices in Ontario and QuébecSoroko, Agata 01 October 2021 (has links)
Teachers’ voices have been largely excluded from the academic and political debates regarding the aims and merits of financial literacy education. Through case study research, this project examined the beliefs, practices, and lives of 10 teachers in Québec and Ontario who teach financial literacy at the intermediate and senior levels. Specifically, the teachers in this study report taking a critical approach to financial literacy education–a subject that tends to be framed in simplistic and individualistic terms as mere personal financial decision-making. In an analysis of in-depth interviews and deliberative inquiry focus groups with self-identifying critical teachers and investigation into various documentary sources, I detail the ways in which some of these teachers adhere to mainstream understandings of financial literacy education while others work to reframe it towards more critical and economically just ends. This research results in the development of a framework for critical economic literacy education, documenting the intellectually demanding set of skills, knowledge, and pedagogical strategies a critical economic literacy requires of students and teachers. Findings also bring forth distinctions in teachers’ ideas about criticality, revealing that teachers navigate between common, critical, and transformative sense orientations in sophisticated ways to achieve their pedagogical aims. Last, I investigate how criticality emerges in teachers, narrating the ways in which their personal biographies, professional and political activities, and intellectual pursuits inform their critical teaching in relation to financial literacy. This case study is further contextualized by the current political moment in which escalating economic inequality and the widening racial wealth gap, the current financial crisis, impending climate disasters, and antidemocratic politics worldwide convey a sense of urgency and a timely relevance for a more critical and transformative financial literacy education.

Design And Implementation Plan For The "i Am Potential" Financial Literacy Education ProgramLouis, Tureka 01 January 2014 (has links)
This Financial Literacy Program Model is a proposed solution to the problem of financial illiteracy among the working poor. Over 80 percent of adults in America are not financially literate, yet more than half believe themselves to be (OECD, 2005). No community is more adversely affected by this fallacy than the working poor. Earning income, yet living below the poverty line, this group is as deceived as any other by the misconception that increased income is their sole remedy rather than a small part of the complex equation greatly influenced by financial literacy. Drawing upon a review of related literature, observation of a successful program, and interviews, three barriers to financial literacy education are presented and addressed in this program’s design. 1) Overblown financial self-efficacy spawns the popular belief held by most financially illiterate individuals that they are financially literate (OECD, 2005). 2) Lack of differentiation is prevalent. Existing programs cover basic financial topics with a one size fits all approach. 3) Although attrition rates are high, there are few motivational interventions in place within currently existing programs. These obstacles combined with the unique set of circumstances faced by the working poor exacerbate financial illiteracy and its related issues. This program was designed as part of the I Am Potential, Inc initiative (IAP) – an effort to assist individuals who desire to enhance their lives. In particular, IAP targets underserved communities. The “I Am Potential” Financial Literacy Program Model and Implementation Plan addresses these issues through instructional design with pre- and post-treatment financial self efficacy and motivation assessments along with differential instructional delivery methods, including a variety of modes and durations available for a distinctive learner population. The iv model accommodates the subsequent addition of coursework for enhancement in other life domains.
