Financial Education in Pedagogical Projects of Mathematics Degree courses offered at the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology

Abstract

In this article, we objectively map, describe and analyze how the topic of Financial Education appears in the Pedagogical Projects of the Mathematics Degree (LM) Courses (PPC) offered by the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IF) in the Southeast and South regions. Initially, we started from a repository published in 2021 by a group of researchers from the Brazilian Society of Mathematics Education who mapped out the courses that were adapted to the National Curricular Guidelines published in 2015 and, at the time, still in force (CNE Resolution /CP 02/2015). Given the recent changes to the until recently considered new guidelines, published between 2019 and 2020, we carried out a search to update the available PPC (in 2024). Therefore, of a qualitative and inventory nature, this research brings together a corpus of 39 FI PPCs, of which we identified 62 curricular components, courses for the discussion of Financial Education (PE) in the initial training of mathematics teachers. From this quantity, we constructed four groupings in order to organize the discussion perspectives of those present, namely: Financial Education, Financial Mathematics, Financial Education & Mathematics and Other Titles; and we also carried out a critical reading of bibliographic materials that support the curricular components. From the final results, we highlight that: (i) although its presence is still timid, the reformulation process provided the expansion of PE dissemination and (ii) there is a sign, still incipient, of reflections regarding this theme in training contexts that involve the field of Pedagogical Practices disciplines and the development of extension curricularization.
