Miguel Afonso Caetano"Most of our students are functionally illiterate. This is not a joke. By “functionally illiterate” I mean “unable to read and comprehend adult novels by people like Barbara Kingsolver, Colson Whitehead, and Richard Powers.” I picked those three authors because they are all recent Pulitzer Prize winners, an objective standard of “serious adult novel.” Furthermore, I’ve read them all and can testify that they are brilliant, captivating writers; we’re not talking about Finnegans Wake here. But at the same time they aren’t YA, romantasy, or Harry Potter either.I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read,2 and most certainly not the attention span to finish. For them to sit down and try to read a book like The Overstory might as well be me attempting an Iron Man triathlon: much suffering with zero chance of success.Students are not absolutely illiterate in the sense of being unable to sound out any words whatsoever. Reading bores them, though. They are impatient to get through whatever burden of reading they have to, and move their eyes over the words just to get it done. They’re like me clicking through a mandatory online HR training. Students get exam questions wrong simply because they didn't even take the time to read the question properly. Reading anything more than a menu is a chore and to be avoided."<a href="https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Literacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Literacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Illiteracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illiteracy</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"[E]very year since the 1980s, the Monitoring the Future study has been asking 18-year-olds whether they have difficulty thinking, concentrating or learning new things. The share of final year high school students who report difficulties was stable throughout the 1990s and 2000s, but began a rapid upward climb in the mid-2010s.This inflection point is noteworthy not only for being similar to performance on tests of intelligence and reasoning but because it coincides with another broader development: our changing relationship with information, available constantly online.Part of what we’re looking at here is likely to be a result of the ongoing transition away from text and towards visual media — the shift towards a “post-literate” society spent obsessively on our screens.The decline of reading is certainly real — in 2022 the share of Americans who reported reading a book in the past year fell below half.Particularly striking however is that we see this alongside decreasing performance in the application of numeracy and other forms of problem-solving in most countries.In one particularly eye-opening statistic, the share of adults who are unable to “use mathematical reasoning when reviewing and evaluating the validity of statements” has climbed to 25 per cent on average in high-income countries, and 35 per cent in the US."<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a8016c64-63b7-458b-a371-e0e1c54a13fc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ft.com/content/a8016c64-63b7-458b-a371-e0e1c54a13fc</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Intelligence</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Literacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Literacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Numeracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Numeracy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ProblemSolving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProblemSolving</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CriticalThinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalThinking</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PostLiterateSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostLiterateSociety</a>
