Abstract

This study examines the impact of using a board game as an educational tool to teach financial concepts in school environments. Adopting a quasi-experimental methodology, the study implemented the game in classrooms and measured its impact on students' financial literacy, financial knowledge, financial behavior and financial attitude using the propensity score matching technique, focusing on the immediate learning outcomes from the board game intervention. The results obtained indicate an increase in the financial literacy and all its dimensions of the students who took part in the board game lessons, demonstrating the effectiveness of this methodology. These findings have significant implications for financial education in schools, suggesting that more interactive teaching methods, such as board games, may be more effective in promoting financial literacy among young people, impacting from financial knowledge to financial behavior and attitude.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics (formerly the Journal of Socio-Economics) welcomes submissions that deal with various economic topics but also involve issues that are related to other social sciences, especially psychology, or use experimental methods of inquiry. Thus, contributions in behavioral economics, experimental economics, economic psychology, and judgment and decision making are especially welcome. The journal is open to different research methodologies, as long as they are relevant to the topic and employed rigorously. Possible methodologies include, for example, experiments, surveys, empirical work, theoretical models, meta-analyses, case studies, and simulation-based analyses. Literature reviews that integrate findings from many studies are also welcome, but they should synthesize the literature in a useful manner and provide substantial contribution beyond what the reader could get by simply reading the abstracts of the cited papers. In empirical work, it is important that the results are not only statistically significant but also economically significant. A high contribution-to-length ratio is expected from published articles and therefore papers should not be unnecessarily long, and short articles are welcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is intelligible to our generalist readership. Book reviews are generally solicited but occasionally unsolicited reviews will also be published.
