A amostra foi constituída por 392 participantes: 218 ingressantes e 174 concluintes provenientes de cursos de Bacharelado e de Licenciatura de uma universidade brasileira. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário com questões abertas e objetivas, no qual continham perguntas referentes a informações pessoais e da vida escolar de cada estudante; dados sobre as práticas de leitura e escrita no cotidiano dos universitários e um teste prático de leitura, elaborado e adaptado a partir do Indicador Nacional de Alfabetismo Funcional. Para a análise, adotou-se a abordagem quali-quantitativa. Foi possível observar que, embora os textos apresentados pertencessem a gêneros primários, os estudantes apresentaram respostas incorretas e não condizentes ao nível de escolaridade no qual se encontram matriculados. Conclui-se que dos sujeitos avaliados, a maioria tanto de ingressantes quanto de concluintes apresenta o nível 2 de alfabetismo, o que demonstra que as defasagens com relação as práticas de letramento oriundas da educação básica ainda prevalecem na educação superior.

Factors Related to the Quality of Life in the Context of Deaf Sign Language Users in Brazil

“…Such genres, according to the research, should be acquired until the 9th grade of Middle School. This study also shows that the entrance in Higher Education of Brazilians from different social classes unveils that the greatest part of this population has literacy difficulties (Lustosa et al, 2016).…”

“…The authors also reveal that the use of the Portuguese language by means of more effective social practices may improve deaf individuals' quality of life. Furthermore, Lustosa et al (2016) point out that the use of reading and writing is essential not only in daily life, but also for the appropriation of not-daily productions in human existence. The authors still observe that, in a literate society, the achievement of full citizenship demands the mastery of reading and writing, once it is the way that individuals may privilegedly get appropriated from the information and knowledge produced by mankind.…”

“…Despite that, it is necessary to point out that most Brazilian population features limited levels of literacy, even those who attend Higher Education. Research by Lustosa et al (2016), in which the authors analyzed the practices of literacy from beginners and graduated at a Higher Education institution, elucidates that many hearing students had difficulties in the use of reading and writing in daily practices, regarding the primary genres. Such genres, according to the research, should be acquired until the 9th grade of Middle School.…”
