Empowering Student Agency Through Financial and Entrepreneurial Literacy in Education: A 21st-Century Approach to Real-World Learning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798267577663)

This book, Empowering Student Agency Through Financial and Entrepreneurial Literacy in Education: A 21st-Century Approach to Real-World Learning, by Lonnie Boswell, M.A. in Education, explores how teaching financial and entrepreneurial literacy in K-12 classrooms transforms student learning and personal growth. Grounded in social cognitive and constructivist theories, the study demonstrates that real-world, finance-oriented instruction enhances students' confidence, decision-making skills, goal-setting abilities, and ownership of their learning.

Through surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, the research found that students exposed to entrepreneurial and financial education gained stronger self-efficacy, accountability, and the ability to connect academic knowledge with practical life application. Special attention is given to Christian educational contexts, where spiritual formation and academic engagement work together to prepare students for holistic success.

The findings advocate for integrating financial and entrepreneurial content into modern education as a vital tool for equipping learners with the mindset, skills, and faith to thrive in today's economy and beyond.
