Metodologias ativas no ensino de economia: contribuições da arte literária

Abstract

Dropping out of economics courses is something that has aroused the interest of many researchers in the field. Many want to know what factors lead students to abandon their studies. It turns out that dropout occurs mainly in the first few semesters of university. There are several factors that contribute to students' decision to drop out of economics courses, such as not identifying with the course, lack of interest, difficulty in understanding the content taught, teachers from different areas of knowledge and the teaching methodology. Most economics courses are more operational in nature, which makes it difficult for many students to understand the subjects presented by their teachers. We believe that by adopting active teaching methodologies and using literary art as a learning tool, we can illustrate the content in a lighter, more meaningful and accessible way. We believe that this relationship is fundamental to improving the teaching of economics through literary art and active methodologies, which can contribute to reducing dropout rates in economics courses.
