This study proposes and examines the effectiveness of an education method that uses receipt profiling (a group discussion in which an individual is profiled based on the information gathered from one week’s worth of shopping receipts) as a teaching aid to foster critical thinking in money management. In applying this method to a high school class, it is possible to understand individual students’ sense of monetary value, knowledge of products, perspective on food safety, etc., through students’ remarks. In addition, improvements in critical thinking were confirmed by having each student read data and state an opinion while presenting a rationale. The research indicates that this teaching aid is effective in fostering critical thinking in money management.
