Abstract :
This research aimed to determine the implementation of economic literacy education at the elementary school level based on thematic teaching materials. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used include interviews, observation, and documentation. Research informants were teachers at the UPTD SD Negeri 66 Barru school in Barru Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Data analysis in this research includes organizing data, reading data (memos), writing data into code, grouping into coding topics, interpreting data, and presenting data. The results showed that economic literacy education at the elementary school level based on thematic teaching materials had not specifically internalized economic literacy in learning. These findings have implications for combining several economic literacy competencies into one topic with other subject competencies at various grade levels, which include: finding economic vocabulary, showing the value of banknote denominations and the equivalent value of banknote denominations; economic resources around the house, the diversity of the Indonesian economy, economic activities; objects in economic activities; and globalization.
