Manifestations of Child Entrepreneurship in Written Narratives with a Financial Thread
Manifestations of Child Entrepreneurship in Written Narratives with a Financial Thread

Summary/Abstract: The article contains the results of research conducted with primary school third graders. Story endings with a financial thread have been qualitatively analyzed. The analysis of the written endings of the story has allowed for the selection of description categories (ways of obtaining money) that make up the final result space of the study. The description categories enabled the creation of two fields of the result space called “short (easy) road” and “long (difficult) road.” Each field of the result space has been assigned corresponding description categories saturated with examples of students’ written statements. Revealed ways of obtaining money to buy the desired item are treated, on the one hand, as the reflection of the children’s generalized colloquial knowledge about money and, on the other hand, as manifestations of their entrepreneurship.
