Potencialidades da WebQuest para a Aprendizagem de Educação Financeira no Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the contributions of using WebQuest as a digital strategy in teaching Financial Education in Primary Education. It is a qualitative and exploratory field study, conducted with 47 Year 9 students from a public school in Paraná. The proposal, based on the principles of Bernie Dodge (1995), was organised into five stages: introduction, task, process and resources, evaluation, and conclusion. The WebQuest ‘Where's my money’ integrated multimodal resources, mini games, and simulators. The data were organised and analysed using Content Analysis, articulating conceptual performance and student perceptions. Our results indicate that the use of WebQuest contributed to student engagement and promoted initial understanding of basic financial concepts, suggesting that active methodologies and digital resources can be important allies in teaching Financial Education in Primary Education.
