Smart Family Economics Management with the IAT Model: A Three-Session Lesson Plan Package for Student-Teachers
Authors/Creators
Description
This educational package presents a structured, three-session curriculum designed to enhance financial literacy and AI self-efficacy among student-teachers, utilizing the innovative IAT (Idea, Tool, Task) instructional model. Developed for the 2026-2027 academic year at Farhangian University, this curriculum bridges traditional financial prudence with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to train "Bilingual Financial Managers"—educators who can leverage AI as a 24/7 personal financial assistant.
The package includes three consecutive micro-prompting lesson plans:
Session 1: Budget Architecture and Smart Financial Tracking (Applying the 50/30/20 rule through step-by-step AI interactions).
Session 2: Purchasing Engineering and Sustainable Expense Management (Utilizing comparative analysis prompts to optimize household market choices).
Session 3: Future Planning and Financial Resilience (Implementing critique-and-creation workflows for emergency funds and micro-investments under inflationary conditions).
This open-access resource serves as the pedagogical framework for an upcoming mixed-methods research study evaluating the impact of AI-driven financial education in teacher training programs
