Alfabetização de jovens e adultos: Qual autoestima?

Abstract

In a survey of literacy of young people and adults, the topic of self-esteem emerged as an investigation category. When confronting the concept of self-esteem versus the concept of faces, the latter seemed more pertinent than the former, considering literacy contexts. Those investigated, teachers and students of literacy, related self-esteem to writing in both interviews and life stories, respectively. Teachers emphasized the increase of self-esteem as a facilitator of learning strategies for writing. Students, however, did not always manifest low self-esteem for not knowing how to write. The results suggest more investment in research on how the literacy students' éthos regulates their faces and the teachers' view of it.
