Abstract
Research on financial literacy has not found a method to effectively teach young adults, economically underprivileged individuals, and their intersection, how to manage and develop their personal finances. This work builds the foundation for a method to test course efficacy in helping underprivileged young adults better understand intelligent personal finance management. In this course, active learning is achieved by making the students the center of their learning experience in that they will make decisions throughout modules based on the life they see realistically for themselves. This paper contains the research and design of the course, course material, survey material, and the proposal and plan for funding. This research has the potential to set financial literacy course design on a more efficient track for underprivileged young adults.
