La biblioteca escolar, un espacio lúdico para la transformación de la enseñanza y el fortalecimiento del aprendizaje escolar

Abstract

The ITD Juan del Corral school library in Bogotá presented a particular dynamic in its functioning: it was a space for storing books and other pedagogical resources that were not made available to the educational community for fear of deterioration. Due to its disuse, it has not been integrated into the PEI of the school. In 2017 the library was rebuilt and a suitable person was hired to administer it. This proposal shows how the librarian will generate strategies and actions that, from the playful as a pedagogical tool, encourage the insertion and appropriation of the library in the teaching-learning processes, thus transforming the role of this valuable place, as well as motivating to students and teachers to consult and use such resources. This work provides the opportunity to put into practice the conceptualization of the playful, didactic and innovative teaching-learning methodologies that are explored in the Specialization in Playful Pedagogy, which benefits from a repertoire of experiences and resources that improve the professional work and redound to the purpose of contributing to education from the work contexts of the authors. The participatory research-action methodology is implemented based on the research line of the FULL called "Pedagogy, Media and Mediation", and from the institutional line of "Pedagogy, Didactics and Infancy". The intervention proposal has designed a series of activities whose general thematic axis is the metaphor of travel as a facilitator of exploration of the library and its resources to activate and promote transversal knowledge of the subjects taught in the school curriculum, this for the sake of inserting the library in the daily life of the educational establishment. The field diary, direct and participative observation and the implementation of play workshops to promote the use and enjoyment of the library are detailed as research instruments.
