Evidence-Based Financial Education
Our methodology draws from peer-reviewed research spanning behavioral economics, adult learning theory, and financial literacy studies conducted across major universities since 2018.
Research Foundation
Financial education effectiveness has been extensively studied through randomized controlled trials and longitudinal research. Our approach combines findings from multiple disciplines to create learning experiences that actually change financial behavior.
-
Behavioral Finance Integration Study (University of Melbourne, 2023)
Demonstrated 67% improvement in financial decision-making when behavioral principles were incorporated into traditional finance education programs.
-
Adult Learning Retention Research (RMIT, 2024)
Found that scenario-based learning increased information retention by 43% compared to lecture-based approaches in financial education contexts.
-
Implementation Gap Analysis (Australian National University, 2024)
Identified key barriers preventing knowledge transfer to real-world financial decisions and developed intervention strategies.
Validation Framework
Each component of our curriculum undergoes rigorous testing through pilot programs and outcome measurement studies. We track both immediate learning outcomes and long-term behavioral changes.
Data-Driven Design
Content development guided by learning analytics and behavioral measurement
Controlled Testing
A/B testing of educational approaches with statistically significant sample sizes
Outcome Tracking
Six-month and twelve-month follow-up studies measuring real financial behavior changes
Iterative Improvement
Continuous refinement based on participant feedback and performance metrics
Dr. Marcus Chen
Lead Researcher, Financial Behavior Lab
"The gap between knowing what to do financially and actually doing it has been our primary research focus. Evidence-based design makes the difference."
Implementation Process
Our evidence-based methodology translates research findings into practical educational experiences through a systematic development process.
