Uma perspectiva para educação financeira de jovens e adultos por meio da resolução de problemas

Abstract

The present work was based on the need for a teaching and learning of Financial Education based on a problem solving system, focused on the specificities of teaching for EJA, aiming to develop a critical pedagogical teaching, based on everyday situations. The research was carried out in the city of Cuitegi - PB, with a high school EJA class, in the second half of 2022. The methodological approach of the research was qualitative, containing bibliographical research and participant observation. The research had an exploratory nature with a view to the general objective: to investigate the contributions of problem solving through Financial Education, for analysis of day-to-day situations of EJA students. The approach allowed a critical look at their finances, as well as greater social, political and economic analysis. Authors such as Ambrósio, Paulo Freire and Paulus Gerdes were of great importance for a greater theoretical and methodological deepening of the topics addressed. During the intervention, the problem solving methodology, structured by Onuchic and Allevato (2011), was used, which enabled a greater critical analysis of the proposed challenges, as well as greater autonomy of the students and developed collective means of achieving the proposed objective. One of the main results of the research was the scarcity of in-depth knowledge about prior knowledge about financial planning, something of great importance in the social and family life of each individual.
