Desigualdades educacionais e letramento

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the scientific productions associated with literacy that have been published in indexed articles in two periodical portals, namely: PePSIC and LILACS. The bibliographical search was conducted by electronic means amidst indexed scientific productions, whose descriptor letramento (literacy, in Portuguese) were part of the title; it includes articles published in Brazil from 1995 through 2015. Data provided material to prepare worksheets that facilitated to systematize the information collected from the bibliography on literacy by means of electronic search. The proposal was to apprehend which topics and areas of knowledge have most frequently occupied such publications. Thus, the concepts of literacy, educational inequalities and ethnic-racial relations were discussed. Theoretical framework utilized was from contemporary authors working on these subjects, in addition to Thompson´s depth hermeneutics (DH), a methodological reference. Results show that the journals were mainly from the areas of Education, Psychology, Geriatrics, Nutrition Science, and Nephrology, with a highlight to the following topics on literacy: school context (children, young people, and teachers), inclusive education in the educational environment and outside of it (older people), literacy in health (hospitals), and digital literacy. However, there was no focus on social inequalities, especially those connected with ethnicity/race. Future studies on literacy should be more comprehensive, especially in regard of the Blacks and Indians in Brazilian society.

Consumption patterns and demand in households headed by the elderly: evidence from Brazil

“…Population aging has economic, social and political implications. Unlike in developed countries, population aging in Brazil has occurred in an unfavorable socioeconomic context due to high levels of social inequality combined with low rates of economic growth (Arbache and Sarquis, 2017; Serrano and Summa, 2016); high rates of illiteracy (Silva and Azevedo, 2018); and infrastructure problems and poverty (Monteiro and Veras, 2017; Souza, 2019). In addition, population aging must bring changes in the economy, because consumption and income levels change with age, a fact confirmed in the economic life cycle models.…”

O esporte no contexto escolar extracurricular: sentidos e contradições no ensino do futsal

“…Compreendendo a escola como um espaço de proteção social para além da socialização (SANTOS, 2019), cuidados com o direcionamento pedagógico são importantes, pois desigualdades na oferta de oportunidades de aprendizagem podem se refletir em outras esferas da vida dos(as) alunos(as) (SILVA; AZEVEDO, 2018).…”

Educação, mídia e internet: desafios e possibilidades a partir do conceito de letramento digital

“…Aiming for ways and gaps, the works of Zuin and Zuin (2017), used the concept of semiformation to propose the rememoration of the historical links of information as a basis for critical thinking; Silva and Azevedo (2018), pointed to the absence of ethnic-racial relations in literacy studies; and Coelho, Costa and Mattar (2018), who proposed a scale between the knowledge of digital "natives" and "immigrants" to discuss the main Brazilian educational policies focused on the digital universe.…”
