| Descripción: | Our society demand from our students skills and competencies that allows them to address challenges in an informed and effective way. In Puerto Rico, there are public schools whose students historically demonstrate a high academic achievement in the standardized tests. A considerable number of these schools do not have a library on their school grounds. This study was focused in unearthing the practices applied at these schools to address areas like promoting reading skills and the development of information competencies among its students. Through a qualitative approach, researchers interviewed 10 school directors from such schools. Results indicate that; 1) academic achievement at these schools are based in a collective and individual initiatives in which information and communications technologies play an important role; 2) there are no systematic effort to develop information competencies and :3) they reaffirm their desire and recognize the importance of having a library in their school grounds. |
