Abstract

"This book studies the ”grey area” of the success story of rural lending libraries in the Nordic countries through the activities of people’s libraries in one area of Central Finland. The study explores the influence of social, cultural, geographical and economic phenomena, such as the spread of revivalist movements, on the reading habits of the local population and reveals interesting reasons why the establishment of elementary schools and popular libraries and the growth of functional literacy did not automaticallyincrease the informational capital of the common people of remote regions or lead to their social advancement. This study represents a methodological experiment in describing the life history of a people’s library. The combination of collective biographical and transnational comparative methods with rarely utilized original sources in this study is innovative and has not been used before in Finnish historical research on functional literacy and popular libraries. The advantage of the comparison is that it reveals the attitudes to libraries that were characteristic of each of the cultures involved.For the people of the Finnish countryside in the late nineteenth century, libraries represented a way of acquiring new information that was still strange and unwelcome. The distribution of immaterial capital was extremely unevenwith regard to age, gender and social rank. In the earlier Finnish research has not very often been analysed, how the communal status of the peasant reader and his or her personal networks in the local community affected the quality of his or her reading habits. This book shows, that the location of the library in its local community and on the other hand the status and position of its customers in their networks, had a great significance on the use of the library and thus to the improvement of reading skills."

Abstract

Les événements dramatiques qui ont marqué l’année 2015, tant en Europe qu’au Moyen Orientet en Afrique, engendrent de nombreux défis pédagogiques pour les enseignants. Face auxémotions et aux réactions des élèves, parfois sensibles à la propension à la haine dans certainsdiscours médiatiques et politiques, comment traiter les notions fondamentales qui forment les piliersde nos sociétés démocratiques?Cet ouvrage collectif, fruit du travail d’une trentaine de chercheurs et de professionnels de l’éducation,entend proposer des supports pour conduire des réflexions en classe autour de la liberté de penséeet de culte, la liberté de la presse, la laïcité, l’esprit critique et l’égalité de traitement des individus.Cet ouvrage a été construit autour du croisement entre une approche centrée sur l’éducation auxmédias et une approche philosophique. Chacune de ces approches est organisée autour de dixthématiques. Celles-ci sont présentées sous forme d’un court article de réflexion et de vulgarisationet sont soutenues par une fiche pédagogique destinée à l’enseignant qui reprend le canevas d’uneproposition de cours. Un « document-élève » est téléchargeable sur le site Internet du Conseilsupérieur d’éducation aux médias (www.csem.be/vivreensemble). Il peut être directement utilisé enclasse et est personnalisable par l’enseignant.Cette publication est dense et multiple. Elle permet à l’enseignant, tant de l’enseignement général quequalifiant, de s’approprier chacune des thématiques de manière réflexive mais aussi très concrèteet didactique. Chacun y trouvera une entrée spécifique qui le conduira vers d’autres approches.Les croisements possibles entre différentes fiches permettent de revenir sur certains débats de nossociétés contemporaines : construction du vivre-ensemble, approche citoyenne des médias, multiculturalité et identité plurielle, embrigadement et fanatisation des jeunes, etc.

Abstract

Das Handbuch bietet einen fundierten und breiten Überblick über neue Konzepte zur Informationskompetenz aus der Sicht der Bibliotheks-, Informations- und Erziehungswissenschaft sowie der Hochschuldidaktik und der Wissenschaftspolitik. Es enthält Beiträge zu Strategien und praktischen Realisierungen der Förderung von Informationskompetenz in Vorschule, Schule, Studium und wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Der lernförderlichen und nutzorientierten Gestaltung dieser Angebote durch Infrastrukturen, Beratungs- und Serviceangebote sowie durch didaktisch maßgeschneiderte Planungen kommt besondere Bedeutung zu. Die Entwicklungen der Informationskompetenz in Deutschland, Großbritannien, Österreich und der Schweiz werden jeweils mit speziellen Beiträgen dargestellt. This work offers a basic overview of information literacy from the perspective of the library and information sciences. It includes essays on strategies for practical implementation of support for information literacy in schools, universities, and research facilities. A particular focus is placed on designing such programs to promote learning through calculated spatial and technical infrastructures and didactically effective planning.
