Apresenta uma análise comparativa dos resultados do desempenho dos alunos da escola alvo do estudo, de Portugal e do Território de Macau, no PISA 2009, identificando as medidas políticas de intervenção realizadas com a finalidade de inverter o ciclo de desleitura. Embora abarcando a promoção de hábitos de leitura pela família, o foco de atenção é a biblioteca escolar. O presente trabalho enquadra-se no paradigma de investigação interpretativo, recorrendo a dados qualitativos e quantitativos. Procedeu-se à elaboração e aplicação de um questionário aos alunos e foram ainda recolhidos dados através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas a duas professoras. Os resultados deste estudo mostram que alunos do 1.o ciclo do ensino básico gostam de ler, têm hábitos de leitura e reconhecem a leitura como fundamental no sucesso escolar. As professoras inquiridas entendem que a leitura melhora a compreensão dos conteúdos, desenvolve a capacidade de expressão oral e escrita, enriquece o vocabulário e desenvolve a capacidade de análise e interpretação do texto escrito. A generalidade dos participantes no estudo reconhece que a biblioteca escolar desenvolve actividades de promoção da leitura relevantes e sublinha a sua importância na criação e desenvolvimento de hábitos de leitura. Revela ainda que, quando o professor bibliotecário e os docentes formam uma poderosa parceria, trabalhando em conjunto na promoção e no desenvolvimento da leitura, os projetos de dinamização da leitura conquistam leitores. This study aims at understanding the importance of reading activities developed by the school library within a portuguese school located abroad, and how these activities promote the reading habits of primary school students. The main focus of the research is the school library, however, the study also analysis the relevance of family habits in nurturing the children’s reading habits. The study compares the average academic performance between the Portuguese students in Portugal and in the currently researched school, according to the data provided by the PISA 2009, and identifies the political actions put in place at the national level to tackle the ‘non-reading’ cycle. The present work falls into the interpretative research paradigm, using qualitative and quantitative data. A questionnaire was created and given to the students and some data was also gathered through semi-structured interviews of two teachers. The results of this study show that primary school students enjoy reading, they have reading habits and they recognise reading as fundamental in school success. The surveyed teachers believe that reading improves the understanding of the content, develops both oral and written abilities, enriches vocabulary and develops the ability to analyse and interpret the written text. The majority of the participants in this study recognises that the school library develops relevant activities to promote reading and highlights its importance in creating and developing reading habits. The study also reveals that when the library and the classroom teachers established a strong collaboration and worked together to promote and develop reading, the reading projects were successful in attracting readers. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
