Empreendedorismo juvenil e educação financeira: um trabalho colaborativo entre estudantes ao elaborar um plano de negócios

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the skills of financial education and entrepreneurial education developed or not by students in an entrepreneurial project. This is a qualitative research that was carried out in a public school in Rio de Janeiro with 64 students belonging to 3 classes of the 1st year of full-time vocational high school. The data collection was obtained by observation during the execution of the project and a questionnaire was applied to the students. The activity consisted in the elaboration of a business plan to be carried out by each group of students. For this purpose, the school's computer lab, the smartphones of some students, electronic spreadsheets and the online educational platform Schoology were used. To ease the execution of the work, the project was divided into four stages, starting with planning and ending with the application of the questionnaire. As a result, we observed the development of skills related to financial education and entrepreneurial education by students, such as planning, organization, administration, adaptability, flexibility, creativity, teamwork, resilience, among others. In addition, it was possible to observe that the main limitation for carrying out the project in the public school is related to infrastructure, especially in relation to technological equipment, which in the case of this research were computers and internet access.
