The Effects of Financial Education on the Financial Knowledge of High School Students
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of a financial education program on high school students' knowledge of personal finance. A comparison of pretest and posttest scores achieved on a reliable and valid thirty‐item instrument suggested that the Financing Your Future curriculum increased financial knowledge across many concepts. The scores increased regardless of the course in which the curriculum was used and across student characteristics. The assessment contributes to the growing literature showing that a well‐specified and properly implemented program in financial education can positively and significantly influence the financial knowledge of high school students.

“One way to elicit potential changes in financial literacy levels involves measuring test-based literacy scores prior to educating subjects about the financial matters of interest and at some point in time after they have received the respective manipulation (e.g., Walstad et al. 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
