Uma proposta de sequência didática para alunos do Ensino Médio: o ensino da educação financeira através da matemática financeira

Abstract

Education is one of the most important pillars for a society’s development. It offers necessary guidelines for the transformation of human beings, and consequently, for the change of the society in which they are inserted. In this process, we can observe that education has several aspects which includes formal and non-formal. Based on this, we can say that Financial Education is an important topic for critical thinking development, not only for students but as well teachers. This critical thinking development can lead teachers to use and open up the range of their capacities. In this sense, the school has a very important role, being able to contribute to the reality of students' lives in a very positive way. Based on this context, and assuming that this theme can arouse students' interest in mathematics, this work aims to propose for high school students a Didactic Sequence about the topic “Interest”. In order to prepare for the research we sought to answer the following question: What possible contributions of using a Didactic Sequence about the topic “Interest” brings to teaching Financial Education for high school students? To guide our studies, a qualitative research was chosen. In this sense, the development of this work took place through official documents and articles that discuss Financial Education, as well as Didactic Sequence. The Didactic Sequence was developed based on the studies of Zabala (1998) and the Nacional Comum Curricular Base (BNCC) as theoretical reference. We hope that this research brings teachers to use this method to accrete to the Teaching Learning process in classroom, bringing elements of everyday life so that students can relate to the world they live in, increasing their decision-making about personal and family financial matters, as well as their view of the world.
