ARGATU, Daniela, DEVELOPMENT OF READING COMPETENCES IN

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

It is a universal truth that all human experience has been collected

throughout the history in books that were written by people for people and can not

stay away from them. Books must be read and the fact that their purchase has now

become a luxury requires adapting the profile and immediate intervention of

specialists and reading mediators namely – school librarians. Only the act of reading

will add value to books that every school library make freely available to its users

and will attest the fundamental law of the lecture philosophy: an open book is an

invitation to freedom, and once you have read it, you may do whatever you want,

because “the purpose of the school is to form free people”. It is, after all, the

consummation of an educational act that takes place in the wonderful space of the

library. Not for nothing are libraries said to be true indicators of a nation’s cultural

health.

BEHAWETZ, Afrodita, MATHEMATICS, IN TERMS OF THE CULTURAL

CONTRIBUTIONS THAT HAVE FORMED THE FIELD

The summary view presented in this article of the most important figures in

mathematics, from all times and places, including Romania, with details about their

lives or the context in which their works were written and their theorems and theories

produced, comes to show that mathematics can often be more interesting and

understandable to students, if teachers attend mathematical definitions, theorems and

the computations required by the study programs with such cultural and biographical

details.

BERCEA, Voichiţa; IOANOVICI, Ileana, TALKING TO CONTEMPORARY

WRITERS – AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECT

The purpose of this interdisciplinary project, entitled Talking to

Contemporary Writers , is to offer a possible model of extracurricular activity, mainly

a cultural and educational one, which can be achieved within the CDI, through a

collaboration with several other departments, such as the Romanian language and

literature department, the music education, the art education and the informatics

departments in our high-school. Thus we meet the requirements of a modern teaching

system, strongly rooted in the contemporary reality.

Taking into account the fact that the financial resources granted for school

libraries in the last years have not provided funds for acquiring new books and

materials, we have raised the question of granting access for the students of our

school to the latest editorial novelties. The main objectives aimed at through the

activities in the project are supposed to have an impact on the development of

students as active readers, by using activities to popularize the latest books, as well

as to make reading more spread and attractive.

BRATU, Veronica, DEVELOPMENT OF PARTNERSHIPS AND

COLLABORATIONS THROUGH INFORMATION AND

DOCUMENTATION CENTRES

Why do we have to engage in school partnership? A question many ask

themselves…

The answer is: both pupils and teachers acquire new and relevant skills,

suitable not only for their professional development needs, but also for their personal

needs such as communication and presentation skills, decision making, problem

solving and conflict management, creativity, team work and solidarity/togetherness.

Schools have as a benefit: the motivation of their pupils, the growth of their interest

in school subjects and school work and their success as pupils.

CHIRIŢOIU, Floarea, INITIATION INTO THE TECHNIQUE OF

READING

L’importance de la lecture est évidente et toujours actuel. Lecture est un outil

qui développe la possibilité de communication entre les gens, se faisant l’écho des

compétences de la pensée et de la langue. Lecture à des enfants est un acte

intellectuel crucial qui doit être guidé et supervisé par l’école et la famille. Les

bibliothèques, même les plus petites, offrent un des meilleurs, plus accessibles

sources moins chers de la lecture et elles ont leurs livres sur les tablettes des enfants

et des parents. Aussi, il existe de nombreuses possibilités parascolaires dans lequel

on peut ouvrir une discussion sur les livres avec les enfants, qui ne doivent pas

associer de lecture avec une tâche imposée uniquement par l’école, mais découvrir la

lecture de sa propre initiative, de curiosité et de plaisir. Grâce à une étroite

collaboration entre l’école, bibliothèque et la famille, petits écoliers pourront

découvrir la joie de lire et de choisir de chaque texte lu ce qui est essentiel et utile.

CIOBANU, Elena-Corina, LIBRARY – SCHOOL COLABORATION WITHIN

THE COURSES OF ROMANIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE

Le biblioteche scolastiche devono diventare fonti d’informazione continua e

aggiornata, le presenze attive nella vita e nel mondo degli alunni. Dobbiamo trovare

nuove forme e metodi a operare con il libro che deve osservare nel miglior modo il

processo di ammodernamento dell’istruzione. L’alunno deve essere ben preparato a

diventare più ricettivo, abile allo studio e a informarsi da solo. Condurre un

approccio didattico aperto di lettura può essere benefico perché permette all’alunno

a creare, oltre la conoscenza del testo letterario e la consapevolezza del processo di

costituire il senso, a produrre in una certa misura un altro testo. Il posto ideale a

tale pratica didattica è proprio la biblioteca.

DUDAREC, Daniela, THE BOOK, OUR BEST FRIEND

The world of books – a wonderful world! But … how can we conquer it? At

what age can we enter the ‘gate’? At youngest age! It is the world we can enter since

224

we are little, provided only that we have people with us to guide our steps through it.

That is why the school has an important role in the discovery of this land for children.

Students come from different backgrounds with educated or less educated parents,

with parents that stimulate the interest of children for books. This task is assumed by

the class teacher. The books make the transition from the fabulous world of stories in

schools to the real world, clarified and explained yet through the epic. The more

attractively and emotionally narrated the story of the teacher is, extensively capturing

the attention of students, the more they identify with the story’s heroes; they want the

come-back or the follow-up of the story.

Arousing the interest in books can be more easily attained if the activities in

this regard go beyond the classroom or the child’s room, the libraries or bookstores

being the most suitable environments for offering the possibility of a working

environment and atmosphere conducive to reading, study and interactive activities. In

this paper, we present a project conducted in partnership with the Center for

Documentation and Information of our school and the municipal public library.

DUMITRESCU, Angela, MODERN TECHNIQUES OF COMMUNICATION –

KEY TO SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATION BETWEEN LIBRARY AND

SCHOOL

Dans l’enseignement roumain, la redéfinition du paradigme de la

communication doit se faire en se basant sur une éducation fondée sur des valeurs

humanistes et conforme aux standards européens.

La bibliothèque scolaire fournit l’information et les idées indispensables à la

réussite dans la société d’aujourd’hui, réussite basée sur l’information et la

communication. La bibliothèque scolaire, en permettant aux élèves de maîtriser les

instruments qui les aident à apprendre tout au long de leur vie, développe leur

imagination et leur offre les moyens de devenir des citoyens responsables.

La mission de la bibliothèque scolaire est d’offrir à tous les membres de la

communauté scolaire des services d’éducation, de lecture, ainsi que d’autres sources

qui développent leur sens critique et qui leur permette d’utiliser efficacement

l’information quelle qu’en soient la forme et le support.

GIUCA, Ecaterina, GURGU, Lia, THE ROLE OF THE LIBRARY IN THE

INCREASE OF THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION PROCESS

The varied math activities held at the Center for Documentation and

Information with the students from primary school are more efficient in the

space offered by the CDI, due to the presence of the teacher, librarian or

research teacher which, by working together, can offer the possibility of a

personalized information according to the dowry of knowledge of each student

at a certain time. At the CDI, activation methods can be applied to students in

mathematics such as problematized teaching, educational games or work

processes such as: differentiation of student training examination,

differentiated learning through mathematical games or individualization and

personalization during the mathematical games.

GROSU, Ligia-Dana, GROSU, Georgia-Maria, READING IN TROUBLE?!

The National Project „Reading in trouble?!”, which reached its third edition,

strives to achieve two goals. On the one hand, the project aims to prove that returning

to the science/art of reading should be a goal for the modern school, which helps

students achieve both reading and communicative skills. On the other hand, the

project aims to update the principles and ideas of the International Book Council for

Children and Youth and make them more efficient.

The major goal of the project is to stimulate the students’ interest in reading,

in a world dominated by video and audio materials, and create a balance in their

lives between television, computer and reading. Conceived as an integrated project,

„Reading in trouble?!” deals with all three cross-curricular categories: education for

quality, education for business and education for cultural diversity.Both the

coordinating school and the partner schools should view the act of reading in the

spirit of the four principles of education promoted and proposed by the International

Education Commission for the Twenty-first Century: learning to know, learning to

act, learning to live together with others, learning to exist. Thus, the defining role that

education has in preparing all children for becoming active citizens in a dynamic

society, which is constantly changing, becomes evident. At the same time, education

helps to improve the quality of life.

226

Opening the project to all the meanings the idea of literature holds

accurately reveals the function of libraries in the educational process and justifies the

librarians’ constant concern about getting reading out of trouble.

IORGA, Mihaela, THE LIBRARY OF „TRAIAN-VUIA” THEORETICAL

HIGH-SCHOOL OF REŞIŢA

The prestige of a school is given by the library it detains. A school

without a library is an ‘amputated’ school; it lacks the breath necessary to

give force and substance. The library is to a school what a lung is to a living

organism. The library forms and educates the taste and sensitivity for reading

within the community of students, putting a decisive mark on their prospective

personality profile. In the modern world, under the sign of important changes,

the school and its library must be factors of progress, genuine agents of

unprecedented cultural dynamics. This status of change agent it is to be

understood in a natural relationship of cultural and educational partnership.

In the library of ‘Traian Vuia’ Theoretical High-school of Reşiţa, this

partnership works and the library is directly involved in teaching activities

and numerous cultural activities. The collections are largely adapted to the

current needs of the students, allowing us to enjoy the support of the school

management for providing funds for acquisitions.

KINDLEIN, Emil, NEW MEDIA VS OLD MEDIA

New media information is currently experiencing an extensive and

rapid development, so that we are required to prepare ourselves vigorously

and continuously in order to keep up with the new documentation and

information trends. The media, in its new variant, offers the access anytime

and anywhere to the content, it is interactive, participatory and promises the

democratization of creation, publication, distribution and consumption of

content. However, we introduce into discussion some arguments to balance

the ‘new media’ and ‘old media’ in terms of usefulness and viability. For

example, the Internet, whose advantages are undeniable and has become

227

almost the only source of information for students, in many cases it paralyzes

any initiative to study and read the books of a library, although in many cases

it leads to inaccurate and unverified information.

LOPĂZAN, Daniela, THE LIBRARY – A CONTEMPORANEOUS

NECESSITY OF INFORMATION

The library is not just a space filled with books; it is something significant,

something one carries along, it is a part of the self. Everyone has an ideal or a

concrete representation of the library, the latest being one where you step in every

day. For me, the library in Buzias is the place where I attended training courses, held

classes benefiting from audio-media equipment, books, internet connection, the place

where students suggested to run activities themselves, PowerPoint classes with

interpretations of screened novels, to present collages with relevant pictures,

according to the theme of the lesson and to pick expressive sound sequences. It is not

important just to have a library (school library but not only), but also to learn how to

read. This responsibility falls on the teacher, but also on the librarian. The latter can

be a guide for the beginning readers who do not know yet to find their way in this

„paradise” – as Borges named it, which is the library. Thus, they can get, through

guiding and quality directions, to reading, experienced readers. If by contradiction,

the library vanished, humankind would most certainly reinvent it, because it is the

meta-cognition of mankind, it is the report that, as by means of a science-fiction tale,

humankind could deliver relative to our planet, to the Universe.

LUNGOCI, Daciana Alexandra, MARKETING AND CULTURAL

ANIMATION – „VITAL” ACTIVITIES IN ROMANIAN SCHOOL

LIBRARIES

Même si la bibliothèque scolaire est une partie intégrante de l’éducation, la

formation et l’éducation, malheureusement, la situation actuelle et la position dans la

société n’est pas toujours optimale. Jouant un rôle actif dans la formation des élèves,

la bibliothèque scolaire devrait avoir un bon plan de gestion mis en place et aussi un

personnel concerné, pour assurer le succès et dans le même temps son efficacité, qu’il

228

faut être une incitation pour les apprenants, les petits futurs acteurs de la société du

savoir.

Notre article décrit et discute les activités de gestion et des activités

culturelles spécifiques, et il capte également les aspects pédagogiques à prendre en

considération dans les activités de la bibliothèque scolaire de nous d’être en mesure

d’affirmer la valeur et l’efficacité. Nous proposons des solutions éventuelles d’un

meilleur fonctionnement du système formatif, informatif et éducatif, en soulignant

l’importance de cette institution dans la société en jouant un rôle dans la création

d’identités. Voltaire a dit que „la connaissance n’est pas innée, parce qu’il n’y a pas

d’arbre sur le sol qui sort avec des feuilles et des fruits”, par conséquent, dans ce cas,

la bibliothèque est la sève des arbres, celle source de connaissances.

MARIAN, Adriana, PLEADING FOR THE PRINTED BOOK

The technological development has brought along different types of

reading, due to the different information media. But, apart from the subjective

arguments and sentimental attachment to printed books, we add that it is

easier to carry and it can be read anywhere, anytime, favoring a more

comfortable reading. It is true that a ‘book’ in electronic format is more

compact, often cheaper, it appears around the launch moment and it can be

heard impressing the reader’s voice (but the listener must be able to focus in

order to understand the message). It is likely that dictionaries, encyclopedias

on paper, some self-education textbooks and books, even some types of

commercial novels, which can easily be consulted electronically, disappear.

The electronic editions will be used for research, but for literature and leisure

reading, we believe that printed books will always be preferred.

MARINESCU, Nicoleta, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, A LUXURY OR A

NECESSITY?

Le développement professionnelle, base sur une formation initiale solide

acquise dans une école de spécialité, oblige les professionnelles de l’info

documentation à une autoévaluation continue. La formation permanente est

229

obligatoire pour l’infodocumentaliste dans la société de l’information, ou les NTIC

connaissent une évolution rapide et il faut acquérir dans divers stages de formation

des compétences d’information, technologiques, de communication, de management.

ONEA, Lăcrămioara, THE BLOG – AN EFFICIENT TOOL OF

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION IN SCHOOL LIBRARIES

The library is the heart of a school. To make known the rhythm of a school, a

librarian must know his duties well, identify its priorities, achieve his objectives and

make known his actions.

For a school heart to beat normally, any action must be brought to the

public, to the community. Atmosphere and hard work in the library must „make noise”

permanently beyond its walls. Students and their parents, teachers and community

can thus know its assets embodied in specific products and services. To survive, every

library needs today more than ever, a well-documented and effective promotional

policies implemented.

Along with other traditional methods of promotion already used in school

libraries, the blog turns out to be a modern marketing tool through which library

activity can be promoted more effectively.

Therefore, the librarian must adopt a permanently constructive professional

attitude, which implies good management practice in terms of both traditional and

modern services.

RÂMPU, Claudia, THE ADVANTAGES OF USING PARTICIPATIVEACTIVE

METHODS IN BIOLOGY CLASSES

All’interno dell’atto educativo, il professore, cosi come anche gli alunni,

agiscono per mezzo di alcuni metodi di insegnamento e apprendimento. La qualità

del loro lavoro è in base a questi metodi, essi costituendo una fonte significativa di

crescita della capacità e dell’efficienza dell’istruzione. Con l’applicazione dei metodi

particolari, si ottengono delle differenze essenziale nella preparazione degli alunni.

Non esiste attività di apprendimento e di insegnamento che non comprende la

necessità nella sua struttura di un certo modo in cui procedere, di una certa tecnica

di esecuzione, di realizzo della detta azione.

RÂMPU, Petru Laurenţiu, GROUP INTERACTIVE TECHNIQUES AND

METHODS USED IN TEACHING GEOGRAPHY

La principale richiesta dell’istruzione progressista è quella di assicurare una

metodologia variata fondata sull’intreccio delle attività di studio e di lavoro

indipendente, con delle attività di cooperazione, di studio in gruppo e di lavoro

interdipendente.

RUBANEŢ, Marieta, MULTICULTURALITY AND INTERCULTURALITY,

CONTEMPORANEOUS TERMS

Intolerance has reached throughout the ages dramatic levels.

Multiculturalism is a concept that emerged during the years 1940-1960, when the

civil rights movement in the United States intensified. Past experience of the

American society imposed the conclusion that in order to achieve a cultural

consensus of the cosmopolitan American society, unity and social cohesion, asserting

the diversity of American culture as distinctiveness can generate that national

consensus required. Europe has other historical coordinates. European countries are

mostly formed on the principle of nationality, in this case, the specific culture

belonging to the nation. By assuming stereotypically the concept of multiculturalism,

on the purpose of being applied within national states, non-specific ideology can lead

231

to segregation, encouraging the segmentation of national unity into ethnic and

linguistic groups, which is the same thing with crushing state cohesion and

endangering social harmony. Interculturalism adduces for principles, the cohesion of

cultures and the positive interactions between them. Educating the students in the

spirit of tolerance and acceptance of cultural diversity through intercultural

education curricula in schools has for objective the moral formation of people of the

future so that racial prejudice and discrimination, which are real aggression

generators, to be tackled.

TRIPE, Oana Otilia, THE LIBRARY – A STARTING POINT TO

MODERNITY

Nowadays, any activity is based on the transmission and use of information,

especially on teaching. The information stored in libraries may address to the general

audience or specialized audience and the transmission channels have diversified so

much that the quality of information is difficult to control. They can be transmitted

orally or in writing, by picture, contained in a work of art, a literary text or a

billboard. The library is where all this cultural and computer richness unifies both on

paper and electronically, but moreover, in this space information is processed,

organized and stored, to be later retrieved easily and rigorously.

VĂDUVA, Carmen-Gabriela, THE VIRTUAL LIBRARY – MEANS OF

TRAINING SCHOOL AUDIENCE

Negli ultimi decenni, l’istruzione degli utenti è stata distinta come una nuova

zona di ricerca intensiva e, inoltre come una zona di nuove responsabilità per le

biblioteche e per gli specialisti nell’ambito dell’informazione. Tutta la comunità di

utenti delle strutture di documentazione informatica affronta una quantità di

informazioni che è in continuo aumento e, tutta questa quantità di informazioni è

trasmessa ed è disponibile su vari supporti: in modo cartaceo, su CD-ROM, online

ecc. Questi aspetti, spesso mettono in difficoltà gli utenti nel momento in cui essi

ricercano tali informazioni.

232

Per questo motivo, le strutture di documentazione informatica devono

attualmente prestare un’attenzione più grande all’istruzione degli utenti, più

precisamente all’istruzione degli utenti per la cultura dell’informazione. La

letteratura del settore ha concesso ultimamente degli spazi più ampi alla

presentazione dei più recenti approcci per questo argomento. Inoltre, sono stati

realizzati più strumenti che offrono la possibilità di apprendere circa le fonti di

informazione rilevanti e su le modalità di accedere a tali fonti. I termini sempre più

diffusi nei documenti di specialità sono: comportamento degli utenti, i bisogni degli

utenti, i programmi di istruzione, la cultura dell’informazione, la cultura

dell’informazione digitale, la cultura delle ricette, le pratiche informative, le abilità

di informazione etc.

VESEL, Adrian-Valentin, APPROACH OPPORTUNITIES TO

INTERCULTURALITY IN THE ACTIVITIES OF SCHOOL LIBRARIES

The opportunities enjoyed by most of the libraries of pre-university education:

trained specialized personnel, proper reading spaces, book volumes, free textbooks,

electronic equipment etc. form into appropriate prerequisites for continuous

modernization of school activities, including the intercultural education support of users.

Understood as a novel pedagogical proposal for the Romanian space, the intercultural

approach in education is able to teach students to live together, spiritually enriching and

developing each other in terms of the differences that mark them: language, religion,

ethnicity, genetic endowment etc..

In our paper, we propose some solutions consisting, in particular, in projects that

school libraries may develop, in the direction of the application of intercultural education

principles.

VIEZUINĂ, Paula-Alina, ECONOMY AND SOCIETY IN THE TWENTIETH

CENTURY. INTERACTIVE METHODS

The Romanian educational system has experienced numerous changes in

recent years, changes that imply a radical reappraisal of the role of professor in

general, of the history teacher especially, inside of a classroom and a rearrangement

233

of the teacher-student relationships, the teacher becoming more of a moderator who

motivates and stimulates the students. To achieve this, in history classes one can use

interactive methods of teaching, based on the collaboration between students. This

helps the students to be able to harness the knowledge and skills acquired previously,

to reach an understanding of the historical facts and events independent of the

teacher, to form independently or in a group a view on the evolution of events and

phenomena, and to express it in a way, argued either orally or in writing, to develop

the ability to work in groups, to communicate, on the one hand inside the group, on

the other hand with the teacher. In the case of the theme approached, „Economics

and society in the 20th century”, one can use a variety of interactive methods. I

addressed just a few of them: Sinelg, Patchwork. Case study, Group project, Gallery

tour.
