A Review of Economic Tools in the Development of a Financial Simulation Computer Program for Middle School Students
type: CreativeWork
description: Economic trends have led to the development of innovative economic tools. Once some of these tools were only available to the wealthy. The development of economic tools such as Individual Retirement Accounts, Certificate of Deposit, College Tuition Bonds, etc. allow consumers an opportunity to plan for a productive financial future. Our children will be the beneficiaries of some of these innovative economic tools. However, we have to begin evaluating our economic education programs, in general, and our instructional materials specifically to prepare children to become effective consumers. This study is concerned with designing instructional material based upon the opinions obtained through the use of a questionnaire.
