Abstract | Since 2012, the Prudence Foundation has been working to address the gap in financial literacy in developing nations by creating and distributing financial literacy media and curricula targeting 7- to 10-year-olds in Asia and, more recently, Africa. "Cha-Ching!" is a multipronged learning initiative that reaches children, teachers, and parents in schools and at home through broadcast TV, digital and print curriculum, and web-based videos and interactives. The core of "Cha-Ching!" is an animated cartoon series featuring characters and songs that introduce children to basic concepts like earning, saving, spending, and donating. Built to accompany the cartoon series are a school based curriculum, a website with activities and materials for parents and children at home, and, now, a new interactive learning game, "Cha-Ching! Money Adventures." In January 2022, Education Development Center researchers conducted an evaluation study of "Cha-Ching! Money Adventures" to determine its appeal and effectiveness for eight- to nine-year-olds playing the learning game at home. Prior to beginning game play, all students completed a 24-item test of Basic Financial Literacy. At the conclusion of game play, typically three to four weeks later, students completed the same 24-item test and answered questions about their experience of the games and the context of home play. The research found that: (1) "Cha-Ching! Money Adventures" is effective in improving children's knowledge of the core financial literacy concepts; (2) "Cha-Ching! Money Adventures" is highly appealing to eight- and nine-year-olds; and (3) "Cha-Ching!" fostered family conversations about money. [For the executive summary, see ED629886.] (ERIC). |
