Abstract:

 Individuals awareness of their daily financial decisions directly affects their economic well-being. Therefore, it is crucial for educational institutions to provide students with basic financial knowledge through curriculum programs supporting financial literacy. This study aims to assess the impact of financial management and accounting courses in universities on the body of financial literacy knowledge of students. The study draws on the data obtained from a survey of the students at the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences at Afyon Kocatepe University. The survey was conducted on a sample of 838 students during the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. Research data were analyzed using frequency analysis and chi-square test with the SPSS 23.0 software package. The findings reveal that, overall, students have low levels of financial literacy. However, the results indicate that finance and accounting courses play a significant role in increasing financial literacy levels.

 Bireylerin günlük finansal kararları konusundaki farkındalıkları, ekonomik refahlarını doğrudan etkiler. Bu nedenle, eğitim kurumlarının finansal okuryazarlığı destekleyen müfredat programları aracılığıyla öğrencilere temel finansal bilgi sağlamaları önemlidir. Bu çalışma, üniversitelerdeki finansal yönetim ve muhasebe derslerinin öğrencilerin finansal okuryazarlık bilgisine olan etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi öğrencilerinden elde edilen verilere dayanmaktadır. Anket, 2021-2022 akademik yılının bahar döneminde 838 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verileri, SPSS 23.0 yazılım paketi kullanılarak frekans analizi ve ki-kare testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, genel olarak öğrencilerin düşük düzeyde finansal okuryazarlığa sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ancak, sonuçlar finans ve muhasebe derslerinin finansal okuryazarlık seviyelerini artırmada önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir.
