Alfabetismo funcional: referências conceituais e metodológicas para a pesquisa Functional literacy: conceptual and methodological references for research

O artigo discorre sobre o alfabetismo funcional, conceito que se refere à condição de pessoas ou sociedades que utilizam a leitura e a escrita. Recupera as origens do conceito e suas diversas aplicações, inclusive servindo a concepções teóricas divergentes. Aponta os principais problemas teóricos e metodológicos implicados na pesquisa sobre o tema. Afirma as tendências mais atuais no campo, que consideram o alfabetismo como fenômeno multidimensional e a importância de se considerarem os contextos práticos e ideológicos em que realizam os usos da leitura e da escrita. Descreve, em linhas gerais, as opões metodológicas de um estudo sobre o tema que vem sendo realizado na América Latina, do qual participa uma equipe de pesquisadores brasileiros.<br>The article discusses functional literacy as a concept referring to the condition of people or societies that use written language.
