Abstract

This research talks about the professional profile of the teachers who work with the courses of Financial Education and Sustainability in the municipal teaching network of Chapecó-SC. The objective was to problematize the presence of the subject in the municipal basic education and how the teachers make the relation of the socio-environmental themes with the mathematics themes, taking as basis the training area of these professionals, the methodology and the content taught in the course. For the data collection we used a structured interview with six teachers from three municipal schools, taking as a criterion for the selection of schools the Basic Education Development Index - IDEB. In the study it was noticed that all the interviewed teachers considered the course important for the students, however, they declared that they found difficulties to work the mathematical and social-environmental contents in an interrelated way due to the lack of preparation in the initial training, absence of improvement courses and, mainly, because they are not related areas. It is concluded that there is a need for continuous training for these professionals who are at school, as well as to broaden the curricular greening in the Teaching Training Degree that prepares teachers to work at basic education.
