A educação financeira como tema contemporâneo transversal no contexto escolar: um levantamento bibliográfico de materiais em diferentes contextos

Abstract

Financial Education is of fundamental importance in the lives of citizens for better planning and control of expenses in personal life and in decision-making when it comes to finances. To this end, this study aims to describe how teaching resources, such as Mathematics textbooks, address this content and how it is inserted in high school classrooms, since, according to the National Common Curricular Base (BRASIL, 2018), Financial Education is a Contemporary Transversal Theme. Through the methodology of Qualitative Research of a Bibliographic and Documental nature, the aim is to carry out a survey of the materials made available by the Department of Education of the State of Paraná in the Online Class Registration Book and the textbooks approved in the National Plan for Books and Teaching Material (2021) in effect. The purpose of this survey is to make a comparison, considering what differentiates Financial Education as an approach to be worked on by Contemporary Transversal Theme from what already appears in these teaching resources, textbooks and Financial Education as a discipline, since the Online Class Registration classes are made available by SEED do Paraná in Financial Education classes. As results found from the theoretical foundation and among the materials consulted, it was possible to perceive that Financial Education, when worked on as a discipline, gains a denser body of knowledge, which is worked on in a more continuous manner and follows a plan. This does not happen when this is diluted in the textbook, since they are worked on sporadically, when the content allows it.
