Wer ist bildungsarm? Zu einer Idealtypologie des funktionalen Analphabetismus

The article illustrates a heuristic model that describes the multidimensional interdisciplinary social phenomena of functional illiteracy in a clearly arranged way. To implement professional literacy programmes that match the different target groups, scientific findings about educational deprivation, life circumstances and barriers to equal participation in connection with low literacy skills are to be arranged in a proper order. One result of the research project ”HABIL” is the development of ideal types, designed to be a point of reference for further social science research on functional illiteracy.
