\n

The MetaFin Brownbag Seminar promotes regular exchange between researchers working on funded projects and enables them to obtain feedback from the internal community. Potential collaborations between projects can be explored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the seminar, both early-stage project concepts (e.g. research designs, sampling and composition, survey instruments, etc.) and later project results can be presented and discussed. The aim is to regularly discuss \u2018work in progress\u2019 and to integrate an interdisciplinary perspective into the research projects through this format. This should facilitate networking between projects during the funding phase and active community building. Presenters can be either project managers or project staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MetaFin Brownbag Seminar will start in September 2025 and will take place online every two to four weeks on Thursdays. All current dates and topics can be found here on the website and in the members' area. If you would like to present a topic, please send us an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to your contributions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do. 19.03.26 \/ 13-14h: Finanzielle Grundbildung in vulnerablen Lebenslagen \u2013 Dialogische Forschung und Entwicklung von Materialien f\u00fcr die Praxis<\/strong><\/div><\/summary>
\n

Speaker<\/strong>: Sally Peters, Clara Baumann<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/strong>:<\/strong> Das Forschungsprojekt FIBI-LA untersucht, wie Erwachsene in vulnerablen Lebenslagen \u2013 insbesondere Menschen mit Behinderungen oder \u00dcberschuldungserfahrungen \u2013 in ihrer finanziellen Grundbildung gest\u00e4rkt werden k\u00f6nnen. Im Fokus stehen Lernorte wie das unterst\u00fctzte Wohnen oder die Soziale Schuldnerberatung, in denen informelle Lernprozesse gezielt unterst\u00fctzt werden sollen. Im Brown-Bag-Vortrag geben wir Einblick in das Teilprojekt \u201e\u00dcberschuldung\u201c des iff sowie in die aktuelle Entwicklung der Materialien, die im engen Dialog mit der Zielgruppe und Fachkr\u00e4ften erarbeitet und erprobt werden. Ziel ist es, die finanzielle Kompetenzentwicklung bei Zielgruppen und Fachkr\u00e4ften zu f\u00f6rdern und \u00fcbertragbare Konzepte f\u00fcr weitere vulnerable Gruppen zu entwickeln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do. 16.04.26 \/ 13-14h: Finfluencer – Approaches to a Phenomenolog<\/strong>y<\/div><\/summary>
\n

Speaker<\/strong>: Jana Franke, Bernd Remmele<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/strong>:<\/strong> In den letzten Jahren setzen sich j\u00fcngere Menschen verst\u00e4rkt mit Finanzthemen auseinander und dr\u00e4ngen vermehrt an Kapitalm\u00e4rkte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ein erheblicher Teil ihrer finanzbezogenen Informations- und Bildungsprozesse vollzieht sich dabei \u00fcber digitale, zumindest teilweise explanative Videoformate im Internet, die insbesondere von Finanz-Influencer:innen (sogenannten Finfluencer:innen) produziert werden. Diese niedrigschwelligen Angebote er\u00f6ffnen zwar Potenziale zur F\u00f6rderung finanzieller Bildung, werfen zugleich jedoch grundlegende Fragen hinsichtlich ihrer fachlichen, didaktischen und medialen Qualit\u00e4t auf. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die zentrale Herausforderung, wie Lernende zu einem reflektierten und kritischen Umgang mit Angeboten sehr unterschiedlicher Qualit\u00e4t bef\u00e4higt werden k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mit dieser Problemlage befasst sich unter anderem das vom BMBFSFJ gef\u00f6rderte Forschungsprojekt FiBiFlu. Das Projekt untersucht mediale Angebote von Finfluencer:innen aus einer interdisziplin\u00e4ren Perspektive, die kommunikationswissenschaftliche, bildungswissenschaftliche, \u00f6konomische sowie wirtschaftsdidaktische Zug\u00e4nge integriert. Ziel ist es unter anderem, epistemische und didaktische Qualit\u00e4tsmerkmale finanzbezogener Erkl\u00e4rvideos zu analysieren, inhaltsbezogene, metakognitive und epistemische Verst\u00e4ndnisschwierigkeiten von Lernenden zu identifizieren sowie die diagnostische Qualit\u00e4t von Lehrkr\u00e4ften im Umgang mit entsprechenden Lernherausforderungen zu untersuchen. Aufbauend auf diesen Befunden wird die Entwicklung eines evidenzbasierten Lehr-Lern-Konzepts angestrebt, das die kritische Reflexion finanzieller Erkl\u00e4rvideos unterst\u00fctzt und deren begr\u00fcndete Integration in den Unterricht der Sekundarstufe erm\u00f6glicht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Im Vortrag werden neben der Anlage und den Zielsetzungen des Projekts erste empirische Ergebnisse vorgestellt sowie ein besonderer Fokus auf den Teilbereich der Krisennarrative als potenzielles Gesch\u00e4ftsmodell in der Finfluencer:innen-Kommunikation gelegt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thu. 18.09.25. \/ 13-14h: Numeracy and financial practices of different population groups \u2013 an overview based on the PIAAC study<\/strong><\/div><\/summary>
\n

Speaker<\/strong>: Klaus Buddeberg & Johanna Husting, Universit\u00e4t Hamburg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The OECD's PIAAC study (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies \/ Survey of Adult Skills) reports on the basic skills and everyday practices of adults. Everyday mathematical (numerical) skills and basic financial skills are not identical, but they are related in terms of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research project \u2018Everyday Financial Practices of Adults\u2019 evaluates the PIAAC results with regard to questions of financial education. For the brown bag lecture, we will give a brief insight into the concept of the PIAAC study and then compile selected results on the everyday mathematical skills of different population groups. The proportion of adults with very low everyday mathematical competence is around 20 per cent, but the proportion is much higher for adults with low formal education, immigrants and older adults. Differences along socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics are also apparent in everyday practices (e.g. calculating prices and budgets or searching for financially relevant information). When selecting the groups of people, we orient ourselves as far as possible towards the target groups of the other projects in the funding line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do. 23.10.25. \/ 13-14h: Ans\u00e4tze zur Kompetenzmodellierung in der finanziellen Bildung<\/strong><\/div><\/summary>
\n

Speaker:<\/strong> Carmela Aprea, Ronja Baginski, Matheus Zago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/strong>: Targeted monitoring is an essential foundation for the evidence-based design and evaluation of programmes aimed at promoting financial competence. The Financial Competence Monitor (FinKomp-Monitor) project seeks to establish such a foundation for the continuous monitoring of the financial competence of the adult population in Germany across all stages of life. This requires the development of suitable approaches to competence modelling and measurement, which will be discussed in this brown bag seminar. In addition to providing an overview and critical assessment of existing competence frameworks, we will present our ideas on the definition, modelling, and measurement of financial competence within the FinKomp-Monitor project in order to discuss them with the brown bag participants from the funding line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thu. 04.12.25. \/ 13-14h: Explainable AI<\/strong><\/div><\/summary>
\n

Speaker<\/strong>: Andrej Gill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/strong>:<\/strong> We study how explainable AI (XAI) influences the behavior of individuals who are evaluated by algorithmic systems but do not operate them. Using an incentivized online experiment based on a modified investment game, we examine whether algorithmic predictions shape repayment behavior, how individuals strategically manage the disclosure of these predictions, and whether explainability alters these responses. Consistent with prior work, we find that predictions act as self-fulfilling prophecies: reciprocal predictions increase repayments, while non-reciprocal predictions reduce them, independent of subjects\u2019 true behavioral type. Participants also use disclosure strategically, paying to reveal favorable predictions and conceal unfavorable ones. Explainability moderates these patterns: compared to the AI condition, XAI subjects show more hesitant and cautious disclosure behavior and adjust their willingness-to-pay once they observe their personalized explanations. Our results highlight that explainability not only informs evaluated individuals but also alters their strategic incentives, with implications for transparency regulation and the design of algorithmic decision systems. These findings show that interacting with algorithmic assessments is itself a behavioral challenge\u2014one that increasingly shapes real financial decisions. As AI tools become embedded in consumer finance, effective financial education must prepare individuals not only to make financial choices, but also to understand and navigate AI-generated predictions and explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
