Abstract

The purpose of this research was to: 1) study the components and indicators of financial literacy for lower primary school students, 2) develop an additional selective course to promote financial literacy for lower primary school students, and 3) examine the effectiveness of the additional selective course to promote financial literacy for lower primary school students. The sample group consisted of 30 Grade 2 students from the Demonstration School of Srinakharinwirot University Prasarnmit (Elementary Division), Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, in the second semester of 2024. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling, with classrooms as the sampling units. The research instruments included: the additional selective course to promote financial literacy, an assessment form for the appropriateness of components and indicators of financial literacy, an assessment form for the appropriateness of the additional selective course, lesson plans based on the developed course, a test of financial knowledge and skills, and rating scales for assessing financial attitude and behavior. Data were analyzed using mean (ð‘ĨĖ„), standard deviation (S.D.), paired sample t-test, and effectiveness index. The results of this study revealed that the components and indicators of financial literacy among lower primary school students comprised four key dimensions: (1) Financial Knowledge, (2) Financial Skills, (3) Financial Attitude, and (4) Financial Behavior. The appropriateness of these components and indicators was rated high, with a mean score of 4.27 and a standard deviation of 0.65. The developed additional selective course to promote financial literacy included essential elements such as principles, objectives, content, learning activities, instructional media, and learning assessment and evaluation. The overall appropriateness of the course was also rated at a high level, with a mean score of 4.19 and a standard deviation of 0.71. The effectiveness of the developed course was confirmed through a comparison of pre-test and post-test scores. The findings indicated that students' post-test scores on financial literacy were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level of statistical significance.
