What Educational Research Says About the Development of Economic Thinking.
Schug, Mark C.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v9 n3 p25-36 Fall 1981
Summarizes research done in the 1950s, early 1960s, and mid-1970s about how children and adolescents think about economic related ideas. Economic reasoning develops in a stage-like manner similar to Piagetian stages of cognitive development, becoming more abstract, other-directed, and flexible with increasing age. (RM)
