Interações interpessoais na biblioteca escolar: o papel da biblioteca na no convívio social entre alunos

Abstract

It analyzes how the school library can directly influence the sociability and citizen and social education of students at the school in which it is inserted through the interpersonal interactions that take place in its environment. It is understood that with a dynamic library, school performance flows better and, therefore, so do the interpersonal relationships of the students who attend it. Thus, the guiding questions are: what measures should the library take to exercise its role of forming citizenship in a school? How to contribute to a pleasant socio-emotional interaction among students? The relationship between the main objectives of a school library, that is, developing and maintaining the habit of reading, supporting students in learning practices, organizing and promoting activities that encourage cultural and social awareness, among others, should contribute to interaction and integration of all students providing a pleasant emotional climate. The study was based on Lev Vygotsky’s theory called Social Interaction, in order to understand how the School Library can contribute to a satisfactory collegial experience for the learners. A bibliographic survey was carried out on the School Library’s history about the importance of implementing laws for its full purpose, and also about the contribution of social librarianship. The embraced analysis techniques were the qualitative approach and the action research method. One query was made with former students of the Professor Antônio Valmir da Silva state and professional school who participated in the project called “Vivências na Biblioteca” assembled by the school library. The results indicate that, with a dynamic library, the school performance improves a lot more and consequently, the interpersonal relationship’s skills of the students who attend it, as well. Finally, it is considered that the performance of activities, through the School Library, should promote and encourage interaction among learners, stimulate students’ protagonism, responsibility and empathy’s notions resulting in the improvement of the sense of ownership over the school library’s space, also should promote creativity and improvement over classroom performance, as well as student’s social skills.
