Economic and Financial Literacy Research
Research projects funded under this category will focus on conducting research on economics and/or financial education. The context of the research is general and does not need to focus on measuring student learning from the teaching of economics and/or personal finance as a course, part of a course, unit of instruction, or curriculum project. Projects may include, but are not limited to, data collection for a new project and/or evaluation of data collected on such topics as: how class size affects student learning or pedagogy; how type of pedagogy affects learning of students with different learning styles; comparisons of student performance based on gender, race, socio-economic status, age, gender of teacher; attitudes and opinions, teacher studies (not related to workshop training), the relationship between school or district support for economic education and student learning or attitude toward economics, or relationship between parental involvement and student learning or attitude toward economics.
