Engagement Through Financial Literacy
"The failure of financial education in changing behavior doesn’t mean we should stop teaching people about managing their money. It just means we need to do it better."

Teachers did an excellent job teaching. Students did an excellent job learning. Both of these were reflected by excellent financial knowledge test scores. Then students grew up and struggled to apply this knowledge in the real world. Some ended up okay, learning through trial and error, while others failed. How can we equalize the playing field?
Revisiting Financial Literacy Education
"Self-efficacy (belief in one’s own ability to perform successfully in a particular situation) can be improved through mastery experience, which involves the help of a trained professional and / or an online tool that facilitate completion of step-by-step goals, in an environment where the user can engage in the task and meet goals in a short time frame."
