Educação financeira de estudantes de Ciências Contábeis: uma investigação pré e pós-adoção da curricularização da BNCC

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the association between the inclusion of financial education in high school, as proposed by the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), and the consumption, saving, and investment attitudes of students in the Accounting Sciences. It is a descriptive research study with a qualitative approach, conducted through data collection. Data were gathered by administering a questionnaire to students from a higher education institution in the state of Minas Gerais, answered by 159 students. The results indicated that most participants had little or no contact with financial education content during high school, which negatively impacted their financial practices. It is concluded that the implementation of financial education in basic education can significantly contribute to the development of more conscious financial behaviors.
