Educação financeira na infância: uma análise sobre a interdisciplinaridade da educação financeira na base curricular das escolas

Abstract

The objective of the present work was to analyze the topic of financial education at school level, as to its applicability and development in the curriculum of the teaching units, covering the age group of children and young people. The theme is justified by the notorious gap that exists in society as to the domain and relationship with Financial Education, and by the fact that it is directly linked to the development of society. Researches corroborate this educational deficit, as well as the reduced quantity of actions developed with the financial stamp, be it in the public or private sector. During the research, authors were willing to explain the importance of financial education, as well as the continuous assistance that should occur on the part of family members and schools, in terms of financial literacy in childhood. As a result of the research, it was pointed out and corroborated by means of questionnaires submitted to teachers of state, municipal, federal and private teaching networks, that financial education is a subject that must be approached with greater emphasis, both in the childhood phase and in its entire development. The sample of educators, who were willing to be contributors to the survey, totaled 30 respondents. The conclusion is that there is a need for greater incentives for the application of financial education in childhood, as well as the development in 2020 of the introductions of the discipline in the classroom, thus allowing for the assistance of interdisciplinarity in schools.
