Uma proposta de trabalho com educação financeira no 7° ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The modernization of financial systems and economic growth have meant that people have more access to credit, increasing the risks involved in making decisions. The lack of knowledge combined with the increase in available credit is the perfect combination for unconscious consumption and spending without planning, generating debt and reducing quality of life. This study aims to understand what impressions 7th grade students express when they experience a pedagogical practice involving Financial Education. The field of investigation was a state public school in the city of Monte Carmelo-MG. The subjects were 7th grade elementary school students, in the second semester of 2022. In this sense, a teaching proposal was drawn up, inspired by the principles of the Guiding Teaching Activity, in the form of a comic book with the theme of the World Cup and we sought to present possibilities for promoting Financial Education, so that the reflections raised provide students with a certain mastery of knowledge that awakens an understanding of the aspects related to financial planning. The research followed a qualitative approach, using field research to obtain information for analyzing the situations discussed. The analysis of the proposal revealed that the elements presented in the teaching situations, such as the concept of saving and putting money together, essential and superfluous expenses and waste, were debated, articulated and discussed.
