Introducing economic concepts to junior school children at technology lessons

In the article we described the theoretical, methodological and methodical bases for acquisition elementary industry, technical and economic knowledge by junior school children. Understanding of such economic concepts as a process of labor, a product, a tool and labor activity by children at technology lessons is considered as the most important structural component of technological training in elementary school. We also discussed theoretical training of future primary school teachers, which is intended for their understanding of elementary economic concepts and development of effective methods for introducing them at technology lessons. Learning of economic concepts by junior school children should be aimed at recognition of terms in the course of practical work, but not at their formal memorization.
