Abstract

The study approaches the theme Financial Education, trying to identify how has evolved such subject in the Brazilian academic scenario. The relevance of the research is evidenced when the economic context of the population is observed, where a constant increase in the degree of indebtedness of the families in the country is occurring. Concerned with the high level of indebtedness of the population, Decree No. 7,397, of December 22, 2010, was established, which establishes the National Financial Education Strategy (ENEF). For that, the articles published at the annual Seminar on Administration (SemeAd) held by the Faculty of Economics, Administration and Accounting of the University of São Paulo (FEAUSP) were used as a research base. We found 275 articles published in the event that corresponded to the keywords searched, of this total only 23 are related to the subject searched. The Federal University of Santa Maria was the most representative teaching institution in SemeAd during the study period, 2011 to 2015. The author with the highest number of publications is Kelmara Mendes Vieira, with 4 articles published in the period. Note that there is a network of contacts and collaboration between authors, since most articles are composed of more than one author and different educational institutions. A descriptive, quantitative and bibliometric survey was performed, with interpretation of the data collected. In addition, the profile of the researches carried out seeking to know the methods adopted and the form of research carried out in the field of financial education was also observed, in order to identify the profile of the published studies.
