Rolul bibliotecii personale în atingerea performanțelor școlare

Abstract

We are already used to the alarming PISA studies, but the latest still comes with an interesting statistic, offering some hope. It shows that students who have books at home and read paper books more often scored 50 points better in reading than those who have books at home and don’t read. Therefore, the fear that in physical format the future of the book is in danger has been dispelled by this study. At the gymnasium level, students in Romania go through two National Assessments designed to measure their school performance, and the reading competence part occupies an important place, arriving at the end of gymnasium to exceed a third of the exam items. That is why the data provided by this study deserved to be applied at the level of our secondary school. Bearing in mind that we are on a downward trend in grades on the two National Assessments, the student questionnaire demonstrated that, indeed, students who have at least ten age-appropriate books in their personal library do better on the proficiency items lecture. In conclusion, personal library is directly related to academic performance and reading on paper brings multiple benefits.
