The study assesses and compares the effectiveness of different delivery methods in financial education. The comparison is between a face-to-face class, live-streaming, pre-recorded videos, and educational gaming. The aim of the study is to understand how the delivery methods of the contents of a financial education curriculum affect the effectiveness of the program. The study relies on a single RCT (Randomized Controlled Trial) on a group of freshmen students attending the same educational curriculum, which contents are provided with different delivery methods. Preliminary results show the effectiveness of all the delivery options, giving the chance to educators, professionals, and policy makers to design financial education curricula using different delivery methods, in order to reach different targets of recipients, or mixing more delivery methods without the risk to lose effectiveness of the program. Further analysis will go beyond the comparison of single delivery methods with a control group, analysing the differences between different delivery methods.
