Abstract(s)
A investigação que desenvolvemos tem por base um dos pressupostos para o
sucesso educativo dos alunos: o trabalho colaborativo entre a biblioteca escolar e os
docentes das diversas disciplinas.
Muitos são os estudos internacionais que revelam a importância que a estreita
colaboração entre a biblioteca e os docentes tem no desenvolvimento de competências
no domínio da literacia da informação. Investigadores como Haycock (2003) ou Ross
Todd (2002) apoiam-se em trabalhos de investigação que atestam o impacto da
Biblioteca Escolar (BE) no processo de aprendizagem dos alunos. Urge, portanto,
fomentar uma relação de cumplicidade para que se discutam, planeiem e realizem
atividades que tornem o processo de ensino aprendizagem mais profícuo, dotando os
alunos de ferramentas que lhes permitam aprender a aprender e a serem utilizadores
autónomos e críticos da informação.
O que se constata, no entanto, nas nossas escolas, é que a maioria dos docentes,
embora cientes da necessidade de dotar os alunos de competências em literacia da
informação, ainda não veem a biblioteca como parceira privilegiada para realizar um
trabalho colaborativo nessa área. A articulação com os departamentos curriculares é
ainda pontual, e circunstanciada, e desenvolvida, maioritariamente, com os
departamentos curriculares da área das Humanidades. Foi da observação desta realidade
que nasceu esta investigação através da qual pretendíamos compreender a forma como
os docentes de uma determinada escola percecionam e se relacionam com a biblioteca.
Paralelamente, refletimos sobre a implicação das lideranças (de topo e intermédias) na
promoção e desenvolvimento de elos entre os departamentos curriculares e a biblioteca
escolar.
Para alcançar o objetivo delineado, desenvolvemos uma investigação que se
enquadra num estudo de caso, elegendo como instrumentos de recolha de dados o
inquérito por questionário e a entrevista. A partir da análise dos resultados pretendemos
perceber as dinâmicas instituídas na escola selecionada e apontar algumas diretrizes
para o futuro com vista à mudança de práticas e constituição de comunidades de
trabalho colaborativo promotoras de sucesso educativo.
The investigation project that we propose to undertake is based in one of the assumptions to the educational success of students: the collaborative work between the school library and the various subjects’ schoolteachers. There are several international studies that reveal the importance that the tight collaboration between the library and teachers has in the development of skills in the domain of the information literacy. Researchers such as Haycock (2003) or Ross Todd (2002) are supported by investigation work that demonstrate the impact of the School Library (SL) in the students learning process. Hence, it is urgent to promote a relationship of complicity so that activities are discussed, planned and executed that make the learning process more successful, providing students the tools that will allow them to learn how to learn and to be autonomous users and critics of information. However, what is observed in our schools is that the majority of teachers, although aware of the need to equip students with information literacy skills, do not yet perceive the school library as a partner to undertake a collaborative work in this area. The coordination amongst departments is still occasional, circumstantial and developed, vastly in the subject areas in the Humanities. It is from the observation of this reality that this investigation project is created in which we aim to understand the way teachers of a certain school perceive and relate with the library. In parallel, we intend to reflect upon the influence of curriculum and administrative leaderships (directors and department heads) in the promotion and development of links between subject area departments and the school library. To reach the outlined objective, we have developed an investigation that fits in a case study, having as instruments the data collection done by interview and questionaries’ inquiries. From the analysis of the results, we intend to understand the established dynamics in the selected school and point out some guidelines for the future seeking a change in practices and the constitution of collaborative work communities that will promote educational success.
