Project activity in the formation of primary financial and economic ideas of preschoolers
The specifics of the development of our economy and other socio-psychological factors make it difficult to understand the relationship between labor and finance ("capital") even in adults. This can be demonstrated by people taking out loans to buy prestigious things and not thinking that they can be returned only by increasing the quantity and quality of labor and payment for it. Preschool age is a sensitive period of the formation of the foundations of morality, spontaneously arises (or does not arise) an attitude to work as a means of financial well-being. Hypothesis: the project activity of senior preschoolers can combine the processes of formation of financial and economic literacy and moral and labor education of preschoolers. The study involved parents and children of the older group. At the ascertaining stage, the majority of children and almost half of their parents revealed a gap in moral and financial and economic attitudes (each group of subjects at its own level). The purpose of the article is to analyze the role of the project in enriching the primary economic ideas of children with attitudes to moral and labor (in the future - to professional) activities. As a result of the implementation of the project, the majority of children in their economic ideas began to trace the relationship between the measure of labor, its product and money. The conditions of labor and financial and economic upbringing of children have changed in families.
