The aim of this study was to, through a qualitative method, investigate students’ participation in a specific library blog to find out what motivate them to create and share digital book recommendations through videos. It also intended to describe the students’ own views of their participation.We conducted interviews with eight students in the ages 12 and 13, who all had similar experiences regarding the blog creation but diverse attitudes concerning the blog production and intentions to participate.The results showed that the strongest motivating forces behind the students' participation in the blog creation was that they enjoyed the making of the videos and also because they wanted to inspire others to read more and create resembling blogs.

O objetivo é delinear um perfil da instituição e de seus colaboradores diretos, trazendo visibilidade a esta iniciativa bemsucedida na área de bibliotecas públicas e escolares, envolvendo a utilização de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC). As indagações gerais foram: o que são os Faróis do Saber? Como eles são administrados? Qual é o perfil dos agentes de leitura neles alocados, e como eles interagem com seu público? Para embasamento da pesquisa foram abordadas reflexões teóricas sobre bibliotecas públicas, bibliotecas escolares e a aplicação das TIC nesses ambientes. Também abordam-se teoricamente o conjunto de habilidades e as potencialidades reunidas sob a alcunha da competência em informação, no contexto escolar e para o profissional que lida com informação. Os métodos empregados para a obtenção de dados sobre os Faróis do Saber foram a análise dos documentos pertinentes levantados junto à Gerência de Bibliotecas e Faróis do Saber da Prefeitura Municipal de Curitiba, a entrevista junto ao gestor das unidades e o questionário online aplicado aos agentes de leitura que trabalham nos Faróis. O exame do material existente sobre os Faróis aponta que eles agem como bibliotecas públicas ou escolares, de acordo com a localização em que foi construído. Também acentua a importância do planejamento cultural como um todo, abrangendo diversas facetas de seu impacto na sociedade. Os resultados da entrevista com o gestor indicam que ele busca agregar a comunidade do entorno nas ações dos faróis, e que a gerência está empenhada na disponibilização não apenas de acervo e equipamentos digitais, mas de atividades especificamente elaboradas para cada grupo de usuários, aplicadas e acompanhadas pelos agentes de leitura. Os questionários aplicados aos agentes de leitura revelam que as rodas de leitura e a contação de histórias são as ações que se destacam como atividades regulares. Esses profissionais consideram que os aspectos relativos ao uso do computador, disponibilidade da internet e atualização do acervo deveriam ser desenvolvidos para garantir a sustentabilidade dos faróis. O perfil obtido dos agentes de leitura respondentes revela que este são formados geralmente em pedagogia; que a maioria possui alguma especialização no currículo, percebendo a importância da educação continuada em suas atividades e no desenvolvimento de competências em informação. Os agentes de leitura demonstram compreender a importância dos Faróis para a cidade, e do seu trabalho, no apoio à população e na construção da cidadania. Os dados levantados demonstram que há espaço para o desenvolvimento de ações envolvendo TIC e outras atividades culturais como a criação literária. / The objective of this dissertation is to provide a profile of the Faróis do Saber (Knowledge Lighthouses) of the city of Curitiba in Brazil and of their information professionals aiming at promoting greater visibility to this successful public initiative that involves public and school libraries. The research questions include, among others: what are their characteristics as information centers for public school students and for the community in general? What are the basic activities regularly promoted by the Faróis do Saber? How do they use information and communication technology (ICT) in these activities? What are the general characteristics of the information professionals (reading agents) working in these institutions, what is the profile of their information literacy, as well as their evaluation of the Faróis do Saber? As these institutions have a hybrid function as school and public libraries, we consider the literature that reflects about the functions of the public library as a social space and as a space for the promotion of reading abilities. The pedagogical functions of the school libraries, how ICT resources can be used in school and community libraries and what are the required information competences of information professionals in these contexts are also discussed. Empirical data were obtained from documents obtained from the Municipality, from an interview applied to the general manager of the Faróis do Saber and from a questionnaire applied to information professionals responsible for daily activities. The analysis of the interview indicate that the manager tries to involve the community in the activities promoted and that he is concerned with the effective use of the digital equipment provided, as well as with the promotion of activities planned for specific user groups. Data obtained from the reading agents reveal that the main regular activities are the promotion of reading. These professionals perceive the importance of the Faróis for the city and of their work for the community and in citizenship building. They also consider that computer and internet use and collection development should receive more attention to guarantee the sustainability of the institution. Pedagogy is the more frequent professional background and they usually have some specialization in their curricula. As a whole data obtained suggest that there is space for actions involving several cultural activities, as literary creation, with more intensive use of ICT.

本研究成果冀望對於減輕圖書教師或館員在圖書館利用教育實施上的負擔，以發展結合網路學習讓學習者自學的有效圖書館利用教育模式。據此本研究探討發展之「合作式網路探究圖書館利用教育模式」對於學習者的學習成效、網路態度、科技接受度及學習滿意度，是否優於目前普遍被採用的「網路式圖書館利用教育模式」。此外，本研究亦探討場地獨立型與場地相依型不同認知風格及高低網路自我效能學習者利用「合作式網路探究圖書館利用教育模式」進行圖書館利用教育學習，在提升學習成效、網路態度、科技接受度及學習滿意度上是否與「網路式圖書館利用教育模式」具有顯著的差異，希望據此探討這兩個背景變項對於「合作式網路探究圖書館利用教育模式」輔以圖書館利用教育實施的影響。 本研究採用準實驗研究法，隨機選取新北市某公立小學六年級二個班為研究對象，一班為實驗組，共有30人，採用「合作式網路探究圖書館利用教育模式」學習模式；一班為控制組，共有31人，採用「網路式圖書館利用教育模式」學習模式，在90分鐘共二堂課時間內，分別實施不同模式之圖書館利用教育課程。 實驗結果顯示利用「合作式網路探究圖書館利用教育模式」進行學習的實驗組學習者，在學習成效及網路態度上皆顯著優於採用「網路式圖書館利用教育模式」的控制組學習者。在學習滿意度上兩組則無顯著差異。科技接受度的「認知有用性」上，實驗組學習者顯著優於控制組學習者；但是在科技接受度的「認知易用性」方面，兩組之間則無顯著差異。另外，本研究所發展的「合作式網路探究圖書館利用教育模式」對於場地相依型和網路自我效能較低的學習者的學習成效特別具有助益。但是「合作式網路探究圖書館利用教育模式」對於學習者的網路態度，並不會因不同個人認知風格與網路自我效能而有所差異。 / The research aims to explore the influences on students' learning effectiveness and internet attitude by using inquiry-based learning skills of Collaborative Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (CWISE) library instruction. Besides, it also find out the difference of learning effectiveness, internet attitude and learning satisfaction between field-independence and field-dependence cognitive styles, as well as high and low internet self-efficacy learners when using CWISE library instruction. The study would also help to reduce the burden on teachers or librarians and to provide self inquiry-based library instruction. The quasi-experimental design is used under the restriction of education environment. Two grade 6 classes of a public elementary school in New Taipei City are chosen randomly and devided into two groups. 30 students in experimental group is proceeded with CWISE library instruction, and 31 students in control group is proceeded with web-based library instruction. Both library instruction model are taken for 90 minutes in two periods. The results show that learning outcomes from CWISE group are better than traditional web-based instruction group in all aspects. In addition, the instruction of CWISE is benefit to learning outcomes for field-dependent cognitive style and low internet self- efficacy learners. However, the students' internet attitude isn't influenced by cognitive style and internet self-efficacy after CWISE library instruction.

Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts ist in Spanien eine Leseförderungsoffensive gestartet worden, deren primäres Ziel es ist, die großen Schwächen der Lesegewohnheiten in der spanischen Bevölkerung zu beheben, und somit allen Bürgern den Zugang zur Informations- und Wissensgesellschaft zu ermöglichen. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden die historischen Hintergründe für die heutigen Defizite erläutert und eine Reihe von aktuellen Studien zum Leseverhalten der Spanier analysiert. Eine Untersuchung über das Verlagswesen und dessen Auswirkung auf die Lesehaltung der Gesellschaft, sowie eine genaue Darstellung des im Jahre 2007 erlassenen Gesetzes zur Buch-, Lektüre- und Bibliothekspolitik dienen dazu, einen Rahmen für die unternommenen Schritte zu bilden. In dem zweiten Teil richtet sich der Fokus auf die seit Beginn des Jahrhunderts gestarteten Maßnahmen zur Leseförderung, darunter, als integrativer Mittelpunkt den Leseförderungsplan der zentralen Regierung und weiter die Projekte der Landesregierungen und der Kommunen, sowie Aktionen die zum größten Teil auf private Initiative zurückgehen. Die öffentliche Präsentation des vom Bundeskulturministerium entwickelten, ersten, nationalen Leseförderungsplanes im Jahr 2001 markierte den Anfang für einen Wandelprozess in der Lesekultur des Landes. Im letzten Teil der Dissertation wird, angesichts der basalen Funktion der Bibliotheken als Zentren der Leseanimation, auf die Entwicklung des spanischen Bibliotheksystems in den letzten drei Dekaden und insbesondere der Öffentlichen und der Schulbibliotheken eingegangen. / At the beginning of the 21st century the Spanish government launched the most important reading promotion campaign in the history of the country. The objective campaign, that still continues, is to correct the important deficiencies of the reading habits of the Spaniards and to guarantee the access to the information and knowledge society for every citizen. In the first part of the thesis, the author describes the historical reasons for the present reading deficiencies in the population. He also analyzes the most important studies about the reading habits in Spain. An investigation about the situation of the publishing world and its effects on the reading culture, and an account oft the law on Books, Reading and Libraries from 2007 helped to create the context in which the new efforts to improve the reading competence are taking place. In the second part of the work the author analyzes the most representative projects of reading promotion, that have been started from the central, but also from regional and municipal administrations, as well as from private initiators. The most important among these projects is the National Reading Promotion Plan. It was developed from the Spanish Ministry of Culture and has the function of an integration and reference point for all the local reading promotion actions in the country. The public presentation of this Plan in 2001 represented the beginning of a deep transformation process of the reading culture of the nation. As the libraries have always been indispensable centres for reading promotion, the last part of the thesis describes the development of the Spanish librarian system in the three last decades focusing special interest on the school and public libraries.

Bien qu’arabophones, c’est en français que les enfants lisent principalement, langue qui est également, pour la majorité d’entre eux, celle de l’enseignement. Les éditeurs libanais francophones ne proposant qu’une production extrêmement réduite, les enfants vont devoir se tourner vers des romans français dont ils ne sont pas les destinataires premiers. Pour eux, se pose alors la question de la réception de ces romans où il leur sera difficile de se retrouver sachant que ces livres tournés vers la contemporanéité, donnent à voir la réalité sociale d’un monde qui n’est pas le leur.Aménagée en trois parties, la thèse apporte d’abord un éclairage sur certains particularismes culturels, linguistiques et éducatifs constitutifs de l’identité libanaise. Pour mieux comprendre le rapport des enfants avec la lecture, les productions des éditeurs francophones de jeunesse sont présentées ainsi que les structures publiques, privées ou associatives qui permettront la rencontre avec les livres. La seconde partie se concentre sur la réception par les enfants libanais du paratexte et de l’incipit d’un corpus de romans français destinés aux 8/11 ans. Cette analyse explicite les stratégies de séduction privilégiées par les éditeurs et les auteurs français. La troisième partie présente la production éditoriale des fictions francophones destinées au marché scolaire ainsi que les particularités de leur forme d’écriture. Le traitement fictionnel de certaines représentations sociales dans des titres français et libanais francophones est ensuite abordé comme les rôles parentaux, l’éducation, la mort et la guerre, dans les romans ayant le Liban comme thématique. / Despite speaking Arabic as their mother tongue, it is French that children mostly read, obviously because French is - for the majority of them - the medium of instruction. However, Lebanese publishers of French-speaking books offer a very narrow selection, hence the children’s turning to French novels whom they are not the first recipients. But how do these children receive such novels? It would be difficult for them to identify with these modernity-oriented-books that portray the social reality of a world that is not theirs. This threefold-thesis first provides insight into a number of specific cultural, linguistic and educational constituents of the Lebanese identity. And to better understand the relationship between children and reading, the first part presents the productions of French-speaking publishers of youth novels, along with public, private and other community facilities that organize “book encounters”.The second part studies the Lebanese children’s reception of the paratext and the incipit of a corpus of French novels written for the 8/11 year olds. This analysis explains the strategies of appeal favored by French publishers and authors.The third part describes the editorial production and specific writing style of Lebanese French-speaking fiction intended for the school market. The fictional approach of some social representations in French and Lebanese French-speaking books is then tackled, such as parenting, education, death and war in Lebanon- themed novels.

The purpose of this work is to investigate and shed light on how children’s literature is used in the after – school center, if there are any conversations with children’s literature as a starting point and if children’s literature and conversation from the books are used as tools to let students process issues concerning themselves, their lives and their thoughts. The servey was conducted in the form of a web-based questionnaire and the questionnaire responses were then analyzed from three different theoretical perspectives: a socio-cultural perspective, an environmental psychological perspective and Aidan Chamber’s model The Reading Circle. From the point of view of the socio-cultural perspective, communication and language are in focus and the interplay between the common thinking and the individual’s thinking is a prerequisite for development and learning. This perspective is set in relation to how conversation about read books can become tools for students’ development. The environmental psychological perspective in this work is about how noise affects students’ concentration and analytical ability, how the design of the room affects students’ views of both themselves and what the room should be used for and that the environment is also a matter of social impact. The reading circle offers a holistic perspective on the reading process, which is about choosing a book, reading the book, being able to reflect on and react to the book’s content, and then want to start over with the next book. Conclusions drawn from this study are that children’s literature is used in leisure centers to varying degrees, that the physical environment in the form of, for example, limited opportunities for quiet places affects the extent of student’s individual reading, and that books discussions and structured reflections based on children’s literature occur to a very limited extent. / Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka och belysa hur barnlitteratur används i fritidshemmet, om det förekommer några samtal med barnlitteraturen som utgångspunkt och om barnlitteratur och samtal utifrån böckerna används som verktyg för att låta eleverna bearbeta frågor som berör dem själva, deras liv och deras tankar. Undersökningen har genomförts i form av en webbaserad enkät och enkätsvaren har sedan analyserats utifrån tre olika teoretiska perspektiv: ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, ett miljöpsykologiskt perspektiv samt Aidan Chambers modell Läsandets cirkel. I det sociokulturella perspektivets utgångspunkt står kommunikation och språk i fokus och samspelet mellan det gemensamma tänkandet och den enskildes tänkande är en förutsättning för utveckling och lärande. Detta perspektiv sätts i relation till hur samtal omkring lästa böcker kan bli verktyg för elevernas utveckling. Det miljöpsykologiska perspektivet i detta arbete handlar om hur buller påverkar elevers koncentration och analysförmåga, hur rummets utformning påverkar elevernas syn på både sig själva och på vad rummet ska användas till samt att miljö även är en fråga om social påverkan. Läsandets cirkel erbjuder ett helhetsperspektiv på läsprocessen som handlar om att välja bok, att läsa boken, att få reflektera över och reagera på bokens innehåll, för att sedan vilja börja om med nästa bok. Slutsatser som dragits av denna undersökning är att barnlitteratur används i fritidshemmen i varierande grad, att den fysiska miljön i form av till exempel begränsade möjligheter till lugna platser påverkar omfattningen av elevers enskilda läsning, samt att boksamtal och strukturerade reflektionstillfällen utifrån barnlitteraturen förekommer i mycket begränsad omfattning.

This diploma thesis examines the possibilities of involving school librarians and information specialists in the process of growth in media literacy at Czech schools. The theoretical part of the thesis briefly introduces the general issues of media education and media literacy in our country and abroad, while the practical part of the thesis based on its own research, focuses on a particular target group - Prague secondary schools ("gymnázium"). Using a questionnaire and five case studies conducted at selected secondary schools in Prague, it conducts a survey of the current situation of implementation of media education in the Czech Republic. The end of the thesis deals with some ideas of how to involve graduates of the Institute of Information Studies and Librarianship in teaching media education according to the American model of a "teacher librarian".
