Abstract

Several things have been said in the field of pedagogy. But, this does not prevent the appearance of new educational concepts. The world of pedagogy has practically no limit. In our study, we attempted to identify teachers’ and pupils’ points of view concerning the impact that school libraries could have on the educational achievements. The statement of the problem was strengthened by two main questions: Could school libraries play a fundamental role in improving the pedagogical process? Could school libraries integrate their resources as research instruments in the educational process? Who could be the actors of this active process? In our descriptive study, we led a survey in secondary schools. The teachers and librarians’ interview helped us to collect interesting data that we analyzed through a qualitative approach. Significant results were obtained. The latter globally showed via several indicators that the school library, on the one hand, contributed concretely to educational achievements, and, on the other hand, played an efficient role in the learning process. Keywords: Education, school library, learning process, pedagogical actors, educational achievements, secondary schools, qualitative study.
