Abstract

Functional literacy is the learning of knowledge and skills for vital necessities as a higher level of basic literacy and then the operational use of this information in individual, socio-cultural, or economic fields. This research aims to examine the opinions of teachers in the context of functional literacy related to the II level primary education program for adults conducted in Public Education Centers. A phenomenological design was used in the study. A total of 12 teachers working in literacy courses in Public Education Centers were included in the study group. This study was conducted by taking the opinions of teachers and concluded that the second-level literacy courses are not sufficient at the social, individual, and educational levels in the context of functional literacy. In the context of these results, it is recommended that the content of the II level primary education program is reconstructed to provide functional skills in a framework that enriches daily life practices focused on the needs of adult individuals.

对公共教育教师在功能素养背景下的成人扫盲计划的意见进行了调查

功能性读写能力是学习生活必需品的知识和技能，作为更高水平的基本读写能力，然后在个人、社会文化或经济领域对这些信息进行操作使用。本研究旨在探讨在公立教育中心实施的成人二级初等教育计划中，教师对功能素养的看法。本研究采用现象学设计。共有12名在公共教育中心从事扫盲课程工作的教师被纳入研究小组。本研究采纳教师的意见，认为在功能性读写能力的背景下，二级读写课程在社会、个人和教育层面上都是不够的。在这些结果的背景下，建议重建二级小学教育计划的内容，在一个框架内提供功能技能，丰富日常生活实践，关注成年人的需求。
