Abstract:
Financial education is a set of knowledge and concepts that can help people make better
financial decisions, improving their financial well-being. Due to the importance and relevance
of the topic, research is being carried out in different countries to assess the level of financial
education of the population. Much of the results found point to a low level of financial
education. n Brazil the reality is no different. Thus, this work aims to assess the financial
education and its relationship with the sociodemographic profile and financial behavior of
teachers from Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Minas Gerais (IFMG) –
Campus Bambuí. To this end, a quantitative, descriptive survey will be conducted, with data
collection through the application of a structured self-answer questionnaire. It was identified
that most teachers are financially educated. Through Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher's test,
it was possible to verify that there is a decreased association between the level of EF with seven
variables, three of the socioeconomic and demographic profile and four of the financial
behavior. With these results, two of the five hypotheses tested can be confirmed. The relevance
of this study is contribute to the integral health of teachers, preparing them for better financial
management, in addition to collaborating and guiding the implementation of Financial
