Abstract:

Financial literary skills are added to the social information curriculum, which was updated in 2018 to provide students with financial literary skills. Financial literature is defined as a process of increasing their financial well-being thanks to individuals' mastery in financial products and concepts, taking financial risks and being aware of the possibility of choosing between various alternatives. In order to create a society that produces knowledge, technology and financial resources, it is also necessary to acquire financial literary skills to individuals in the early ages. Social information has been used in this study with the aim of identifying the teachers' awareness of the financial literary skills and getting their opinions about the acquisition of this skill. The research work group has formed 20 social information teachers who are accessible, agree to participate in the study and who work in the first and secondary schools in Rize province and districts. The data is evaluated by content analysis. Research results show that teachers know the definition of financial literary skills and their skills related. But it is clear that they do not know enough of the activities that can be used to develop this skill in students and they do not apply it in their classes.
