Abstract

The economy, as present in absolutely ordinary activities in antiquity was already studied by the great names of philosophy, as Aristotle and Plato. However, today we see is an obvious lack of guidance about the economy in a comprehensive way, as a science that is specific and, when engaged with all relevant aspects of the life of modern man, namely labor relations, production and especially in the education process. You can still see a gap between large population of what are the most basic concepts of economics. There is a resistance, often laden with myths, to which seeks to understand what really is the economy. In Brazil, the teaching of economics in high school is still in the process hiking very short steps. The initiative is still timid and faces resistance, especially in private educational institutions. And in public institutions Economy is present mainly in technical and vocational courses. One must realize that even the smallest social groups need to recognize the science that allows them the effective relations gain, profit upon their productions, whether basic, dedicated to agriculture, livestock, within a familiar aspect, or still in production, for example, crafts. It is possible to see that the IFAM courses, throughout its history, has sought to insert mechanisms to make space to learn, know and practice. And in this context, it appears in the curriculum of their courses, subjects directly related to economics. It is possible to bring to the Alto Solimões communities, for example, the necessary support so that the people who had long lives fishing, handicraft production, fruit of the fruits of the region to develop their art, their work, knowing that he is inserted in an economic process, enabling a marked growth, since it is not only related to the empirical, but brings with it science Economics, as a source of knowledge necessary to make you think and rethink the means of production, ways of producing, selling strategies and expansion of any business that makes real what is taught in the classroom of technical courses offered by IFAM. In this sense, the teaching of economics in the production chain bio handicraft and jewelry echo in Tabatinga-AM district, allows monitoring of this creative activity and its stages, which takes advantage of the natural resources sustainably, available in the forest, together with inputs and tools to help artisan productivity and generate you income.
