Bibliotecas en la Educación Intercultural Bilingüe : Estudio comparativo sobre la correspondencia cultural de los acervos bibliográficos presentes en escuelas primarias y secundarias de la provincia de Chaco

Abstract

Based on an investigation whose criterion was to analyze the cultural correspondence of the bibliographic collections located in libraries of primary schools of the Intercultural Bilingual Education (EIB) modality, in the northeastern region of Argentina (provinces of Chaco, Corrientes, Formosa and Misiones), It was evaluated to carry out a comparative study of the collections and services present in primary and secondary schools in the province of Chaco. Although there are elements to consider a potential usefulness of the collections by teachers and librarians (especially herbaria, maps and photographs), they have no impact on the uninhabited plane of school research. For this work, a consultation was made to the Official Registry of Educational Institutions, where the study population was taken as the people responsible for the libraries located in the secondary schools of Chaco, Common Education, Youth and Adults primary level, and Complementary Services modality. The data were extracted and analyzed, under a qualitative-quantitative methodological criterion, through surveys with open and closed questions. The research carried out allows us to understand how the cultural correspondence of bibliographic collections is losing impact in terms of oral documents, museum pieces and library extension services that are required to sustain the EIB modality from their libraries, a situation that follows the logic of decreasing percentage of institutions that offer this alternative to indigenous students who decide to continue in some of the different educational levels of secondary school
