Literacia na educação financeira escolar: vídeo como recurso educacional para uma educação matemática crítica

Abstract

The study presents the reflection and analysis of a didactic proposal developed with 7th grade students from a public school in Juiz de Fora, MG. This scenario sought to identify, present and explore situations that promote debate and reflection on financial topics such as decisions, need and desire, budgeting, planning through dialogue as a means of sharing experiences and perspectives. The objective of this study was to investigate the possibilities of critical thinking in the context of finances, considering the reality of the students, and the dynamics of the meetings in mathematics classes sought answers to the following question: Does the production of videos contribute to financial literacy, specifically, decision making? And how do these resources contribute to the construction of mathematical knowledge? In line with authors who study Financial Education (FE) and, in particular, School Financial Education (EFE), we proposed the following general objectives: a series of activities related to EF based on ideas and assumptions of CME, aimed at the development of autonomous citizens who are able to make more assertive decisions in various situations of everyday life, as well as to present some concepts of EF focused on conscious consumption and use the video based on the students' production, linking financial literacy and decision making. In view of this, a qualitative analysis of the material produced during the activities was carried out, as well as of the videos produced by the students as a culmination of these activities, presenting pertinent issues in different contexts to approach EF. The main findings of this study indicate that it is possible to enhance characteristics such as critical reflection in classroom activities addressing PE. The video provided students and teachers with opportunities for dialogue that valued personal perspectives and experiences, as well as opportunities to improve learning processes with more meaningful teaching. The educational product was developed as a training course, bringing ideas for using digital resources, specifically video and memes, to help teachers and students engage in their classes.
