Abstract

Economic education has long been recognized as a pivotal tool in enhancing the economic awareness of communities. This research aims to test the impact of economic education at the economic level awareness among the public. The research method employed is a survey, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to a sample of individuals from diverse educational backgrounds and age groups.

The research findings reveal a significant positive correlation between the level of economic education received by individuals and their economic awareness. Individuals who have received higher levels of economic education tend to possess a better understanding of economic concepts, financial planning, and investments. They are also more likely to exercise prudence in managing their finances.

Furthermore, the study sheds light on the disparities in the influence of economic education based on social and demographic factors such as age, gender, and educational attainment. These results offer deeper insights into how economic education can be customized to achieve more optimal outcomes tailored to the needs of the community.

These findings hold important implications for designing more effective economic education programs aimed at enhancing public economic awareness. Additionally, this research lays the groundwork for the promotion of broader economic education within communities to address the frequently overlooked issue of economic awareness. Improved economic awareness is expected to assist individuals and communities in making wiser and more sustainable financial decisions.
