Chat e educação financeira escolar: investigando interações em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the production of financial-economic means of students of the 9th grade of elementary school in a public school through internet chats and the discursive dynamics of short message exchanges. The research is characterized as qualitative approach to research in quality are used as categorizations of text messages from Flanders (1970, apud GONZÁLES and LEÓN, 2009) and Silva (2013) and the Model of Semantic Fields of Lins (1993, 1999, 2008 , 2012) as theoretical and methodological support. In contrast to what usually occurs in math classes, an analysis of the data revealed the predominance of students' participation in chats, compared to the intensity of their text with those of the teacher-researcher. More than that, we have a great potential to talk, we commite as tasks, for a production of financial and economic means of students and collective construction of knowledge. However, the difficulties were faced, such as the follow-up of text message flow and the availability of time required of the educator for the participation of each group of the class at different times and days out of school. This article is an educational program comprised of a set of tasks focused on financial education and a tutorial for 9th grade mathematics teachers who wish to work such tasks with their students through an Internet chat.
