Educação financeira na formação em ciências contábeis

Abstract

Financial Education is a contribution to improve consumption decisions, and should therefore, be continuous and permanent, going through the entire educational formation of the individual. Thus, this research aims to verify the conformity present in the Pedagogical Project of the Accounting Sciences Course of a Public University in the State of Alagoas, related to Financial Education. This is a basic research, classified as descriptive, with a qualitative approach, whose technical procedures involved bibliographical, documentary and case study research. The collected data were given in a secondary way, through the analysis of the Course Pedagogical Project and the Teaching Plans of the offered curricular components. The results show that the analyzed course presents a considerable level of compliance of its CPP and Teaching Plans with the perspectives of Financial Education, but that it should make efforts to offer other programmatic contents, in order to ensure a training that is more in line with the FE precepts.
