- Title
School Library Design, Facilities and Resources for Sustainable Cognitive and Social Development of Students: An Evaluative Case Study.
- Authors
Stewart, Paulette
- Abstract
This evaluative case study examined the perceived effects that new school library functional and inspirational spaces, relevant resources and comfortable facilities had on students' cognitive and social development. The principal and teacher-librarian were interviewed. A questionnaire was administered to eight students from grades 10-13 who had used the old and new library. Findings revealed that the design of the library, the resources and the facilities seem to positively impact students' cognitive ability and social development. It is recommended that Ministries of Education should redesign school libraries where necessary on a phased basis in order for its users to achieve the perceived educational and social benefits experienced by these participants.
