Refletindo sobra a educação financeira a partir de concepções de docentes: implicações sociais e metodológicas.

Abstract

The theme of this article is justified by the fact that it is common in our daily life to relate Financial Education directly to financial situations in which it requires adequate and conscious decision making. Faced with this, we have as a fundamental question: What is the view of primary school teachers about the importance of Financial Education today? In this sense, the need arose to research and reflect on this topic nowadays, but a teaching focused on a critical eye, where the theme Financial Education is worked in order to lead the students to question facts of their daily life. From the question proposed for this study we outline the general objective to understand the teachers' perceptions about the importance of Financial Education in the present time. In this work, we use works with a similar approach and official education documents as National Curricular Guidelines, National Curricular Parameters for Elementary Education and Complementary Educational Guidelines to National Curricular Parameters. We did a qualitative research, developed with two teachers of the final years of elementary school in the city of Monteiro in Cariri Paraibano. As for the procedures, the data collection was done through a questionnaire, composed of ten questions. In our work we seek to show that Financial Education is not simply operational, we believe that subjects related to it can contribute to critical mathematical formation of students, promoting reflections in their daily lives not only when faced with financial procedures but with social, political , economic, among others, since Financial Education is not limited to finances.
