Educação Financeira Escolar no Ensino Médio: desenvolvendo o protagonismo financeiro

The objective was to investigate activities for the development of financial protagonism in the context of Entrepreneurship with senior high school students. The research is qualitative and involved the participation of thirteen students in seven in-person meetings. Open-ended problems were proposed, stimulating the students' critical and creative skills. The results indicate that the students improved the ability to analyze and interpret financial data and their skill in performing mathematical calculations applied to the entrepreneurial context. They have also developed the competence to make decisions based on financial information, considering pricing strategies aimed at maximizing profits and ensuring business sustainability. The contributions of the activities to Financial Education emerged from the students' practice with the sequence of activities applied in solving open-ended problems, equipping them for financial decision-making and leading to financial protagonism.
