Abstract

This research was developed in the Postgraduate Program in Science and Mathematics Education, at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás, Câmpus Jataí. Its general objective was: to understand how the appropriation of meanings and knowledge about Financial Education can contribute to the redefinition of consumer relations and the analysis of socioeconomic conditions by worker-students in a 9th year class of Elementary School II from EJA, from Escola Municipal Dona Josefina, located in the city of Rio Verde – GO. The class was made up of 18 evening students who participated in the research in the first semester of 2023. To this end, a didactic sequence was created involving activities focused on Financial Education. In this way, the students' prior knowledge and experiences were considered, from a Critical Mathematics Education perspective, as it is believed that the school has relevance as a space for human and social development and for the exercise of citizenship. Thus, the following research question was raised: how can a didactic sequence built from Financial Education from a critical perspective contribute to the reframing of consumer relations and the socioeconomic conditions of EJA students? To answer this question, the research followed an analytical path that unfolded into a didactic proposition on Financial Education aimed at the target audience: EJA students. For data collection, the following instruments were used: questionnaire, conversation circle, audio and image recordings, logbook, field notes, printed materials for recording and displaying work. The methodology developed in this class focused on the perspective of Critical Mathematics Education, as it is believed that the creation of learning possibilities committed to the development and improvement of knowledge about finance can provide opportunities for reflections to understand social, political and economic structures. , in addition to the development of active attitudes as citizens and consumers facing the need for resistance and transformation of reality in the face of the unequal dynamics produced by the mode of production of capitalist society.
