Abstract
This paper, firstly, introduces and investigates various important frameworks for the scope and sequence of economic education in the USA and Japan. The author concludes that economic educators in the USA have never made a systematic economic education curriculum at the elementary schools. To the contrary, there were some unofficial economic education curricula at the elementary schools in Japan particularly in the 1960s. However, these unofficial curricula have some ideological biases and are exclusively based on Marxist economics. Secondly, this paper introduces the author's planning framework for the scope and sequence of economic education from the 1st grade to the 6th grade, based on the USA's scope and sequence of the basic economic concepts and the Japanese economic education curriculum theories.
