A integração de novas tecnologias para o ensino de educação financeira em uma escola do semiárido brasileiro.

Abstract

This work aims to explore the integration of new technologies in teaching financial education, focusing on a school located in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The proposal involved the use of technological tools to promote the learning of fundamental financial concepts, such as personal budgeting, price comparisons, investments and the effects of impulsive consumption. The research was conducted with a class of students, using the Kahoot application to apply interactive questions that stimulate reflection and debate about financial behaviors. The methodology involved three meetings, the first being an introduction to the topic of financial education and the use of technologies in the teaching process. The second meeting focused on applying the questionnaire on Kahoot, despite resource limitations, with only one notebook and three cell phones available for 35 students. The third meeting consisted of a debate on the issues presented, allowing students to share their experiences and perspectives on the topic. The work highlights that the use of technologies, even with limited resources, can make teaching more dynamic and accessible, facilitating student engagement and understanding essential financial concepts for their daily lives. Instead of simply judging answers as right or wrong, the focus was to stimulate reflection on financial behavior, encouraging responsible practices and the development of skills for conscious and balanced financial management. In summary, the proposal highlights the importance of financial education and the use of technologies in teaching, planning to prepare students to make more informed and responsible decisions in relation to money, which is essential to guarantee financial stability and the achievement of long-term goals.
