FINANCIAL EDUCATION IN HIGH SCHOOL: ADMINISTRATIVE AND PEDAGOGICAL IMPACTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND DECISION SKILLS
Keywords
Abstract
This study analyzes the impact of the teaching of Financial Education in High School, highlighting its importance for the development of administrative and financial skills. From the OLITEF simulation, it was verified the students' difficulty in dealing with abstract financial concepts, such as compound interest and inflation, suggesting the need for more practical and contextualized methodologies. A significant difference in performance between genders was also observed, with male students presenting better results compared to female students. As pedagogical implications, it is recommended the integration of Financial Education into the school curriculum in an interdisciplinary way, in addition to the adoption of active methodologies, such as simulations and case studies, which can promote meaningful learning and better prepare students to manage their personal finances and to work in administrative contexts.
