Museums, Libraries and 21st Century Skills

This project underscores the critical role of our nation’s museums and libraries in helping citizens build  such 21st century skills as information, communications and technology literacy, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, civic literacy, and global awareness.

Recognizing that every individual requires these competencies to succeed in 21st century life and work, IMLS offers the Museums, Libraries, and 21st Century Skills project to:

• Support museums and public libraries in envisioning and defining their roles as institutions of learning in the 21st century;

• Enhance understanding among policymakers and other stakeholders about the integral roles museums and libraries play in creating an engaged citizenry and competitive workforce.

This report provides a self-assessment tool and an assessment of museums and libraries against a continuum of 21st century skills.

Voltar a estudar Humanidades articulando com o estudo da Ciência

Do we think that a nation of well-trained drones who make sure to be polite as they check us into hotels and on to airplanes is a functioning democracy? I don’t and you don’t. Stop the madness. Push back. More soon — I’m off to meet students (smart) and teachers (interested in learning) — before it is too late.

Frente de trabalho incessante: mostrar que somos úteis e necessários

"ll stakeholders recognize the profound ways in which school librarians can and do influence students to develop twenty-first-century learning skills and to embrace reading as a lifelong activity. This has not only been documented by the many statewide impact studies and but also by individual principals who recognize the relationship between increases in their students’ ELA test scores and the presence and use of their school library.



But this is not enough.



School librarians must accept the additional role of school-based researchers and evidence-based practitioners, collecting data from their constituents about their library programs and information services and documenting their effects." (das conclusões)

Austrália Bibliotecas Escolares 2011

Durante um debate parlamentar em curso na Austrália sobre as bibliotecas escolares e a diferença que fazem na educação e no papel das escolas na formação das futuras gerações, muitos decisores políticos e mesmo directores de escolas, reconhecendo que elas são um dos pilares das escolas de qualidade do País, assumiram desconhecer os resultados da investigação científica que comprova o valor das bibliotecas escolares na aprendizagem.

Karen Bonanno reforça num breve artigo os principais argumentos apresentados.

Destaco dois pontos de que nem sempre ouvimos falar:

1. a importância da biblioteca escolar na actualização de quem trabalha nas escolas. Lá como cá, ainda há muitos professores no activo, por exemplo, que na sua formação inicial não abordaram as literacias... contam (quando contam) com as bibliotecas escolares para aprender mais sobre estes temas hoje essenciais, ao mesmo tempo que os seus alunos desenvolvem competências leitoras e digitais, que ainda há 10 anos nem se imaginavam tão necessárias. E no entanto, como diria Galileu, si muove...

School libraries make a difference: "School libraries make a difference to staff professional learning. During the Inquiry examples of informal professional learning being delivered by the teacher librarian during a teaching session with the students and the teacher in the library were presented. Pre-service teacher training has not included courses related to information literacy or digital media literacy. "

2. a diferença que a biblioteca escolar, incluindo as suas condições físicas atractivas, faz na percepção que os pais têm do estabelecimento educativo que é melhor para os seus filhos, influenciando naturalmente a atitude dos alunos realtivamente à escola

School libraries make a difference to student enrolment: "To end on a wildcard, I would propose the statement that, under the BER, school libraries are education real estate. In the majority of cases I’m sure the parents are taken to the ‘new’ school library as part of the tour when considering a suitable school for their child."

Canadá Bibliotecas Escolares 2011

Relatório publicado agora (Maio 2011) pela People for Education (Ontario), organização não governamental que trabalha com as famílias em defesa da qualidade na escola pública, dá conta de retrocessos nas bibliotecas escolares canadianas e alerta para consequências negativas caso não haja políticas diferentes.

School libraries are a doorway for children and youth to learn about the world.  By design, they are sites for students to explore and develop their own interests, and to foster a love of  reading, along with their inquiry and research skills.  And as the digital world puts more and more information at students’ finger tips, the library can open the door to learning beyond the walls of the school. [...]

RECOMMENDATIONS

All students and teachers should have the capacity to find, evaluate, organize and transform information in the digital universe.

People for Education recommends

••• that the province support a leadership role for teacher-librarians, who can work with classroom teachers to develop feasible information literacy programs for all students and

••• that the province ensure that all teachers receive appropriate information and technology education in faculties of education and through ongoing professional development.

3 ideias chave para uma escola que não mate a criatividade

1) Campbell's Law. If everyone knows what is being used to measure progress, expect corruption. Whatever is being used to make decisions about money, resources, teacher performance, and student performance is subject to distortion.
