Teaching teachers about retirement and investments: A comparison of three interventions

Abstract

The authors describe a project that compared the effects of three interventions on the retirement investment knowledge of public school teachers in the Midwest. They interpret outcomes from three different interventions (online training, site-based workshop, and hybrid of online and site-based). While the study results indicate that program participants increased their investment and retirement knowledge of content presented in the measured approaches, the differences in gains between the interventions were not significant. The authors call for additional research into the investment and retirement education of teachers that employs larger samples and uses valid and reliable instrumentation.

Financial literacy in Turkish preschool education

“…In a study conducted with Social Sciences teachers, Seyhan (2020) states that social science teacher can define financial literacy in terms of basic financial concepts, economic politics and interpreting financial developments; as for financial management, they can define it as budgeting, deciding on economical issues and managing money as general. Similarly, in the studies which aim to determine financial literacy knowledge of in-service teachers and candidate teachers, it is seen that the level of financial literacy is low in both groups (Lucey, 2008;Akhan, 2015;Lucey, Meyers and Smith, 2017). Not only teachers but also academicians have a low level of selfconfidence in teaching financial concepts (Henning and Lucey, 2017).…”
