In this conference, professor and reseacher Régine Kolinsky led a presentation of her current research project, whose main aim is to promote critical thinking in subliterate individuals through actions that contribute to the establishment of the literacy status. For this, the researcher revisits the notion of literacy, points the influence of this over various human cognitions and exposes the need of an education that is commited to the development of critical thinking in individuals, as a form of resistance against fake news and false beliefs. Here, Kolinsky’s research was assessed in terms of methodology, of reception within participants, and its relevance in Brazilian reality.
