Educação financeira escolar: o valor do dinheiro no tempo

Abstract

This research is about School Financial Education and was developed in the area of Mathematics Education, it is about School Financial Education in which we discuss the value of money over time, considered one of the central themes in the area of Finance. In the investigation process, it uses a qualitative approach, which had a field research as a means for data collection, one which was carried out with two students of the seventh year of elementary school in the city of Mercês / MG from a private school network . The theoreticalmethodological foundation used in this research was the Semantic Fields Model proposed by Romulo Campos Lins (1999, 2012). The objective of the research was the production of a set of tasks, theoretically referenced, about the value of money over time in order to stimulate elementary education to produce meanings from this notion. The educational product resulting from the research consisted of a set of tasks, addressing themes that involve the value of money over time, which can be applied to elementary and/or high school students. An analysis of the research subjects' statements in relation to the applied tasks was made using the Semantic Fields Model as category notions in order to investigate the students' production of meanings. We believe that through the elaborated tasks, it was possible to reach our objective as a researcher and professor. We also emphasize the importance of working with tasks that are familiar to students, so that they can enunciate about them, even more so because Financial Education is little or not worked in the school environment of basic education, despite appearing in official documents .
