小學生的金錢概念、態度、與消費技能研究

The Development of Elementary School Children's Monetary Concepts, Attitudes, and Skills

本研究旨在了解我國小學生的金錢概念、態度、與消費技能的發展情形，並探討影響小學生金錢概念、態度、與消費技能發展的可能因素。抽選2404位來自台北市、台北縣、高雄市、及高雄縣的國民小學一至六年級學生為樣本。透過小學生金錢概念、態度、與消費技能問卷進行調查，顯示：錢幣的認識已於小學階段完成；金錢概念與消費技能會隨年級增長而增進；大部分的小學生認為金錢並非至高無上，不用「向錢看」；城鄉、年級、排行、家庭型態、壓歲錢處理、與有無零用錢等因素會影響小學生的金錢概念與消費技能發展。本研究亦發現：年級是小學生不同態度取向的共同影響因素；居住於城市、高年級、排行老五以上、生活於小家庭、有處理金錢經驗，如把壓歲錢存郵局或銀行、及有零用錢的學童等，其金錢概念與金錢消費技能的得分較高，對錢的價值觀亦較持正向看法。
