ABSTRACT Debates linked to academic theories have been intensifying in the Brazilian political scene from statements shared sharply by governmental authorities. Thus, there is evidence of efforts to depreciate the legacy left by Paulo Freire and the contributions of the literacy approach to the writing acquisition process. Contrasting with the ideals shared by the authorities, I present some contributions by Paulo Freire to current demands for empowering (1) scientific education in schools and (2) critical training of female teachers. These contributions are appropriated by contemporary research in literacy studies, produced in the Brazilian and international academic context. As forwarding, I emphasize the relevance of teacher education mediated by investigative practices, as already proposed by the mentioned educator. It can guarantee to the female teachers the autonomy necessary for their own methodological constructions and professional confrontations.

In 2018, nearly nine out of ten (** percent of) people aged between 15 and 24 years surveyed in Brazil were considered functionally literate – that is, minimally able to read and interpret memos, pieces of news, instructions, narratives, graphs, tables, ads, and other types of text. Less than half (** percent) of respondents aged between 50 and 64 years were deemed functionally literate. In Brazil, the functional literacy rate is higher among women.

Abstract This article sought to describe the process of adaptation and application of the concept of health literacy in Brazil, through content analysis of the Brazilian academic literature, structured in four stages: organizational analysis; coding of the results from the use of three forms of health literacy expressions in Portuguese (alfabetização, letramento and literacia em saúde); categorization of results according to the concept and scope; and inferences from the application of each translated concept in different situations. A total of 1,441 documents were identified. From 2005 to 2016, the use of alfabetização em saúde prevailed, strongly associated with the functional dimension of health literacy. As of 2017, the concept of letramento em saúde became more evident, even though, in practical terms, there is little difference from the previous interpretation, focused on information for self-care and disease prevention. More recently, there is a growing record of the literacia em saúde concept, a translation widely used in Portugal, which is presented as a more adequate and comprehensive concept, capable of expressing the multidimensional character of the advanced health literacy models, which seek to express the individual and collective decision-making processes on health and quality of life.
