Conference Tracks
Teaching Practices (Poster Only) – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion
Abstract
The purpose of this poster is to share how poverty simulations have been used in higher education. Poverty simulations have been used to change college students’ attitudes toward poverty (Browne & Roll, 2016; Nickols & Nielsen, 2011). Students enrolled in an introductory managerial finance course (FIN 301) completed a digital poverty simulation. Students prepared a reflection paper discussing their attitudes toward poverty and experiences living a simulated life in poverty. This post will share students experiences and how faculty and use poverty simulations for their classrooms.
