G3b Making Your Own Case: Inclusion in Consumer Financial Education
Key Words
active learning, case study, college students, higher education, math, personal finance
Short Description
This article reports a qualitative study to explore the effectiveness of an innovative case study approach in a personal finance course among college students with a goal of making the course inclusive for students who are from economically disadvantaged families and traditionally have unsuccessful experiences in math. A case study approach was used in a senior level personal finance course at a public, research university. Besides conventional case study exercises given in the course, students were also required to create their own cases based on their unique, diverse backgrounds. Responses from students suggested that the approach was effective on helping students understand personal finance concepts and enhancing their computation ability. Information presented in this article can be helpful for educators in higher education or other settings who teach personal finance courses for students who have diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and may be less prepared in math areas.
