THE PROBLEM AND LITERATURE REVIEW
In our changing world, families have a tough time with money. Education is like a
helper, showing people how to deal with these money issues. This study looks at
whether learning everyday skills from home economics can make families better at
managing money. Home economics teaches useful skills that might help with finances.
We're checking if teaching these skills can really make a difference in how families
handle their money in our always-changing world. Figuring out how practical education
affects money choices could help families manage their money better no matter where
they are.

Literature Review
financial habits, particularly in the realm of family budget management. Lee, Park, and
Montalto (2000) underscore the significance of household saving for individual security
and broader economic stability. Their study emphasizes the initial step of spending less
than income to accumulate financial assets. Factors such as high income, education,
long-term financial planning, specific saving goals, low credit card debt, and family life-
cycle stages are identified as influential in promoting saving, with racial disparities
indicating that black households are less likely to save than white households.
Muske and Winter (2004) advocate for a paradigm shift in family financial
management, rejecting a one-size-fits-all approach. They stress the need for tailored
tools, recognizing the diverse goals of families. Proposing convenient, easy-to-use tools
with rewards surpassing implementation costs in terms of time and mental energy, they

cultural nuances that impact savings patterns and budget management strategies.

education and children's financial competence. Smith et al. (2015) examined the role of
financial education. A longitudinal study by Turner and Davis (2014) assessed the
enduring positive effects on savings and investment behaviors over time. Exploring
gender dynamics, Johnson and Brown (2019) investigated how Home Economics
program designs. The study by Patel and Jones (2023) scrutinized the potential
between HEE and family budget management. Emphasizing the importance of tailored
financial tools, the literature suggests that effective financial education programs must
consider diverse factors influencing financial behaviors to design interventions that cater

Conceptual Framework
This conceptual framework involves gathering input through demographic information and
participants' prior knowledge. The process includes curriculum content delivery, assessing participation,
and evaluating practical skills. The expected output is an improved understanding of budgeting,
enhanced financial decision-making skills, and sustainable improvement in family budget management.
The framework essentially aims to link participant characteristics and prior knowledge to specific

On the flip side, the alternative idea is that there won't be a big difference in
budget skills between those who learn Home Economics and those who don't. This
suggests that other factors, not just Home Economics education, might be more
important for efficient budgeting, good financial choices, and overall household financial
well-being.

culture, and education relate to improved budgeting skills after HEE. At the same time,
we'll talk to people to understand their stories about HEE and family finances. This mix

changing anything; we're just looking at patterns. So, it's called a correlational research

samples from each subgroup. In this scenario, the population comprises two strata:
HE comprises 87 students (29 from Celdran, 29 from Guerrero, and 29 from Larena).
With a sample size of 202, we can allocate a proportional number of samples from each
stratum. For instance, based on the relative sizes of the strata, Grade 11 HE could

Instruments
The questions we're asking people in our study are like a conversation starter.
Some questions have options to choose from, making it easier to count and compare
things like money, culture, and how helpful Home Economics Education (HEE) is. Other
questions are more open-ended, letting people share their stories and experiences
about HEE and how it affects their family's money habits. We're not just looking at
numbers; we want to hear real-life stories to understand if learning about money in HEE
In addition to the survey questions, we're also having longer chats with some
people. It's like having a friendly talk to get more details about their experiences with
HEE and family finances. These conversations help us get a better understanding of
how HEE connects to how families manage their money. So, we're using both structured

impacts how families manage money at Plaridel Integrated National High School. We'll follow a

surveys and personal stories, we want to see if there's a connection between learning about
money in HEE and families handling budgets better. This introduction outlines our journey,
