Pensamento financeiro multidimensional e sustentabilidade: cenários para investigação na educação financeira escolar

Abstract

This dissertation, situated in the field of Mathematics Education, focuses on School Financial Education, aiming to contribute to the critical and conscious financial formation of students throughout basic education. The research is grounded in the theoretical framework of Multidimensional Financial Thinking which proposes an approach that integrates ethical, social, cultural and environmental dimensions into financial content. A qualitative methodology was adopted based on action research, enabling the articulation between theory and practice in real school contexts. The investigative actions aimed to meet the demands of the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), promoting Financial Education aligned with Cross-Curricular Contemporary Issues, especially regarding sustainability and responsible consumption. As an educational product a didactic e-book centered on Circular Economy was developed, structured to allow its replication in different school realities. The material was validated through two pilot tests which indicated its pedagogical viability and applicability. The research results show that the insertion of pedagogical practices grounded in Multidimensional Financial Thinking contributes to the construction of ethical and solidarity-based financial awareness among students, strengthening critical and civic education in the school environment.
