BARBOSA, MARIA LÚCIA FERREIRA DE FIGUEIRÊDO. LITERACY OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS: WHAT SELF-ESTEEM?. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.60, pp.143-165. ISSN 1413-2478.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782015206008.

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.

Keywords : literacy of young people and adults; self-esteem; éthos; faces.
