Relaciones pedagógicas entre la prensa y la biblioteca escolar: programa Prensa Escuela 25 años.

This article reports on the study "The place of the press in the school library: 25th Anniversary of Prensa Escuela Program", specifically, regarding the analysis of the pedagogical relationships woven between the press, curriculum development and the school library. To do this, the experience of the program was systematized in six schools based in Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley, Colombia, according to the voices of the participants, through interviews and focal groups with teachers, students, and librarians; also featuring documentation generated by the program was analyzed. The established categories became the reference for the analysis and triangulation of the information. Among the findings, it was evident that the main benefit of the pedagogical use of the press was its articulation to curricular development and the consequent integration between academic areas. On the other hand, the students developed the ability to identify and read content from the different textual typologies; in some cases, the processes of expression and oral argumentation were strengthened with the support of library collections, which favored relations between libraries and their users. It is noteworthy that some educational subjects interpreted the value of information in their academic and personal activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
