Abstract
The author used a "stock market game" as a part of finance education in a junior college. This computer game simulated the buying and selling of stocks based on their real stock prices. It was also expected to train computer literacy. The reason a "stock market game" was used in the practical classes of a junior college was to give the students some background in the remarkable changes in the economic environment that surrounds consumers. At the same time, the author strongly believes that the educational role of a junior college could be achieved with finance education. The education in a junior college needs to provide not only business and vocational education, but also liberal arts education. It is the role of education in a junior college to provide ability and knowledge acquisition that will support the students during any sudden changes in social conditions in the future.
