Abstract
In view of the expectations for the future outlined by the 2030 Agenda (UNESCO, 2015), for the learning pointed out by the OECD as necessary to enter the labor market (OECD, 2019) and, above all, for the context of the Covid-19 Pandemic, education important changes, which require assertive actions and the adaptation of the entire school community, including students entering higher education in distance and hybrid modalities. The low literacy of reading, writing and digital is already a recurring problem in students of higher education and, now, more than ever, they need reinforcement, considering the needs of the third decade of the 21st century. There is a need to monitor and update the literacies of these students so that they can develop their academic skills and prepare for a future profession. In this context, the present research project aims to analyze the literacy level of students entering higher and hybrid higher education in Portuguese and Brazilian institutions, seeking to establish a link with the learning objectives indicated in UNESCO’s SDG 4, and with the set of skills indicated by the OECD to enter the job market. The research will be qualitative and will use an instrument designed especially for the study to measure the level of students’ reading, writing and digital literacies. This instrument will take as a knowledge base in the evaluation of reference standards of learning from international organizations, such as the Agenda 2030, from UNESCO, and the Conceptual learning framework, from the OECD. Bloom’s Taxonomy is also used to categorize and analyze literacy levels.
