FINANCIAL EDUCATION AT SCHOOL: FORMING CONSCIOUS CITIZENS

Abstract

This article analyzed the perspectives and challenges of the implementation of Financial Education in basic education, with the aim of investigating effective ways to integrate it into the school environment through innovative pedagogical approaches and the use of digital technologies. The research, of a bibliographic nature, was based on authors such as Gil (2002), who highlights the relevance of research when there is insufficiency or disorder in the information available on the problem studied. Studies that address teacher training, curricular transversality and the application of technological tools in teaching were examined. It was concluded that the continuing education of teachers is essential to fill the gaps in initial training, allowing the adoption of methodologies that connect financial learning to the reality of students. In addition, the strategic use of technology enhances student engagement, facilitating the construction of critical and reflective skills. Therefore, the need for educational policies that encourage teacher training and the implementation of integrated pedagogical practices is reinforced, promoting contextualized and meaningful Financial Education.
