Abstract

Economic education has been recognized as one of the crucial aspects in shaping individuals' ability to make sound economic decisions. This study aims to investigate the influence of economic education on economic decision-making abilities through a longitudinal study approach. Data were collected from a group of participants who attended economics courses over a period of five years. Regression analysis method was employed to evaluate the relationship between the level of economic education and economic decision-making abilities. The findings of this study indicate a positive correlation between the level of economic education and economic decision-making abilities. These results suggest that higher economic education contributes to enhancing individuals' abilities to analyze economic situations, understand economic concepts, and make more rational and appropriate decisions in economic contexts. The implications of these findings are presented to support the development of more effective economics education curricula to enhance economic decision-making abilities among students and the general public.
