چکیده
Currently much importance is given to entrepreneurship in the economic development of the countries. Also, in the educational system (from primary school to college) value is given to the teaching of entrepreneurship concepts through many initiatives spread throughout the world. However, in primary school these initiatives are still rare, and this is a context where we consider the existence of potential for exploration. It is our aim to support entrepreneurship education at the primary levels through use of computer software, specifically Three-Dimensional Collaborative Virtual Environments. In this article, we present the status of entrepreneurship teaching in primary education, and some cases of entrepreneurship teaching in the education of children, as well as some examples of Three-Dimensional Collaborative Virtual Environments employed in the education of children.
