Investing in the Modern Era: Implications for Economic and Financial Education
Abstract
1. Changes in the Economic Environment and Their Implications
– A new economic environment has emerged that differs significantly from the past. In addition to changes in the labor market, the era of low growth and low interest rates has become entrenched. At the same time, technological advancement has further intensified polarization in asset markets.
2. The AI Revolution and Changes in Labor: Growing Polarization
– Productivity gains in the AI era are likely to widen economic disparities. To narrow these gaps, individuals will need to work in competitive industries or invest in them.
As changes in the labor market make the limitations of labor income increasingly apparent, the importance of investing will continue to grow.
3. Our Investment Culture: Strengths, Weaknesses, and the Shift from Past to Present
– Investment culture in the past
– Today’s investment culture and its strengths
4. What Kind of Education Is Needed in the Age of Investing?
– Promoting long-term, diversified investing rather than impulsive investment decisions
– Providing sufficient education on historical market cycles and related topics
5. Concluding Remarks
– Conclusion

Presentation Title
Practical Economics for Life Design : Powered by AI
Abstract
This presentation examines the limitations of traditional school-based economic education, which has largely focused on the acquisition of knowledge, and explores directions for a more practice-oriented approach to economic education.
In particular, it reviews policy guidelines emerging in response to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial general intelligence (AGI), as well as diverse trends in AI-integrated teaching and learning practices in schools. Drawing on these developments, the presentation discusses how economic education can move beyond knowledge transmission to foster practical competencies that enable learners to apply economic thinking in their everyday lives.
Finally, the session offers recommendations for practice-oriented economic education that can empower future generations to actively design and navigate their own lives in an AI-driven world.

Presentation Title
Everyday Financial Experience Builds Youth Financial Literacy – Evidence from the Firfin Platform
Abstract
While finance is rapidly advancing through artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, economic and financial education often remains focused on traditional concepts and knowledge-based instruction. This presentation introduces an innovative educational approach using MaruLab, an AI-powered financial simulation platform that enables learners to experience realistic financial environments and develop practical decision-making skills.
Through hands-on activities involving investing, saving, credit management, and personal asset management, learners can strengthen their financial literacy and gain experience in making informed financial decisions. The presentation also explores how AI analyzes learning histories and simulation data to provide personalized learning experiences tailored to individual proficiency levels, interests, and behavioral characteristics.

Presentation Title
Educational Innovation and Active Learning in the Age of AI
Abstract
In the 20th century, an era of mass production, the goal of education was to efficiently teach explicit knowledge. However, in the 21st century—the age of AI—explicit knowledge is being replaced by AI. We need to find a new approach to education that cultivates tacit knowledge, which enables individuals to demonstrate their unique capabilities. This presentation aims to outline the direction for educational innovation in the AI era by examining the Taejae University’s model, which is cultivating talent equipped with problem-solving skills through online active learning and global rotations.
