天悦关注:图书馆的正确打开方式

来源:北京天悦学校 时间:05-08

有人说图书馆是一所学校的灵魂所在,称其为校园里离梦想最近的地方。这里简单极致,凝聚了文化的馈赠,蕴含着墨水清香。文字无言,所有的视线都定格在书页间。寒暑交替之中知识的累积,或许是图书馆在孩子成长过程中最长情的陪伴。

一所建在图书馆里的学校

天悦,是一所建在图书馆里的学校,图书馆是学校建设的重要元素,既是传统意义上的集成式阅读场馆,同时也是学校所倡导的一种概念,“打破场所的壁垒,让校园处处都是图书馆,让阅读成为孩子们了解世界的方式”。

天悦图书馆设置在主楼二层,这不仅是个传统意义上,通过图书借阅共享知识和文化的场馆,更力求打造成一个多元创新的智慧空间。学校目前已订购英文原版图书12000余册,包括获奖图书,名著系列和全球畅销绘本、图册等,涉及历史、科学、地理、文学以及教学资源等不同学科领域。此外中文书籍会在不久后陆续采购,随着学校的发展,图书馆藏也将不断增加。

在这个总面积近800平方米的图书馆内,空间设计精巧而又极具人性化,低龄学生的书籍将全部放在触手可及的区域。图书馆被分为开架借阅空间、安静阅读空间、互动空间以及多媒体室。借阅区将设置分级读本区,既有适合低龄阅读的彩图绘本,也有适合高年级欣赏的名著佳篇。在互动空间将不定期举办阅读活动以及各类书展,向学生推荐与自己阅读能力相匹配优质图书,此外这里还是每周图书馆课的课堂。

立体流动式的体验课堂

天悦从小学阶段起,每周设有图书馆课。在图书馆课上,由专业的图书馆老师选一本书为孩子们朗读,之后引导孩子们讨论文中情节,讲述自己的感受。孩子们通常会各抒己见进行多层面的交流,这是在语言教学越来越趋向于回归本真之后,阅读重要作用的显现。学生往往通过一节图书馆课被某个故事吸引,迷上了某一本书,慢慢爱上了阅读。

当然比起英文原版读物,最让双语学校老师、家长们“头痛”的还是如何激发孩子们读中文书的热情。与外文书不同的是,一些传统的中文书籍没有根据关键词进行分级;不少人也对中文读物有一定的偏见,认为中文书在趣味性、视觉美观、话题丰富度上都不如原版书吸引人。为了推动学生的中文阅读兴趣、提升学生的中文文学素养,天悦图书馆将从推荐中文阅读物入手,淡化课堂学术的角度,重点考虑书籍本身是否有趣、有启发性;是不是能拓展读者的视野、活跃思维、引发孩子的共鸣。与外文书不同的是,一些传统的中文书籍没有根据关键词进行分级;不少人也对中文读物有一定的偏见,认为中文书在趣味性、视觉美观、话题丰富度上不如原版书吸引人。为了推动学生的中文阅读兴趣、提醒学生的中文文学素养,天悦图书馆将从推荐中文阅读物入手,淡化课堂学术的角度,重点考虑书籍本身是否有趣、有启发性是不是能拓展读者的视野活跃思维引发孩子的共鸣。对于学生的挑战会更高,他们需要具备全球化的视野和世界公民的责任心,需要具有跨学科的

大数据时代下的学习格局

在天悦这样一所双文化的国际学校里,对于学生的挑战会更高,他们需要具备全球化的视野和世界公民的责任心,需要具有跨学科的知识储备、批判性思维方式,需要拥有能解决21世纪社会问题的实操技能。同样在天悦图书馆,孩子们除了享受阅读外,还将系统学习如何利用信息技术享用在线资源,查找、收集、诠释、筛选有效信息。

在多媒体教室除了配备大量有声读物、电子书籍、影像资料、在线数据库等软件以外,学校还将提供苹果电脑、Ipad等硬件设施,由专业老师利用图书馆电子管理系统指导学生如何进行更便捷、灵活的搜索。这里同时也是一个信息共享空间,吸引并鼓励高年级的学生一同交流、合作、共享多元的学习格局。

大数据时代信息无穷无尽,天悦信息技术部将有效支持图书馆数据信息的处理分析,以达到资源利用化。每个学期通过信息整合,老师会对学生的阅读情况一目了然,比如各个班级的阅读量,每人每周平均借阅了几本图书,哪些书的借阅率比较高等等。作为一所十六年一贯制的学校,当孩子们毕业踏出校门的时候,除了一纸证书以外,他们还会获得一份含金量更高的个人书单,记录着他们从进入天悦天起所读过的所有书目,记录他们的成长轨迹。

让智慧与意志圆满发展

所谓“腹有诗书气自华,最是书香能致远”。三毛也曾说过“读书多了,容颜自然改变。许多时候,自己可能以为许多看过的书籍都成了过眼烟云,不复记忆,其实他们仍是潜在的。在气质里,在谈吐上,在胸襟的无涯。当然,也能显露在生活和文字中。”天悦渴望孩子们能在一个优雅别致的环境中,感受到阅读的力量,在书中汲取养分,丰盈内心,明心见性。刚刚过去的世界读书日只不过是一天,然而一年有三百六十五天。一所学校,若能盛行读书之风绝非一日之功,阅读必将是师生未来身体力行的持续积淀。

JOY EL's Library

The library at JOY EL will be the heart of the school, as libraries often are. It will be a vibrant haven, rich in print (both Chinese and English) and also in online resources and books which will meet the needs of our students. It will be a welcoming space for all our readers, and an academic hub where independent learners can grow.

JOY EL attaches great importance to building the learning abilities of our students as our aim is they will all become lifelong learners. We give careful consideration to the development of their cognitive abilities at different ages and stages. By assisting, inspiring and guiding, we build a full library system to help them develop their own reading habits. This will provide a strong support platform upon which our students can successfully complete their education.

Once students start reading, the more they read, the more they appreciate its significance and value. Reading is not just becoming more informed about the world around us; it is also an important way to stimulate one’s thinking abilities, and to experience the emotions of being absorbed in a book!

Reading is a vital element in education, and is the basis of learning. A good book brings a wonderful experience. When we open a book, we are embarking upon a colorful journey. In books, we find warm sunshine, gurgling water, colorful seasons, fresh air, fragrance and fruit trees in abundance. The more books you read, the more engrossed you become in the world.

The library team at JOY EL will not only develop and maintain our resources, but furthermore will provide instruction for our students in order to help them grow as independent critical thinkers and problem solvers. Our focus will be to promote literacy by providing a wide variety of titles that will appeal to our student population, as well as opportunities for our school community to meet authors, illustrators and story tellers. In this digital era, a time of rapidly evolving technology, information is easily accessible. However, it can also be overwhelming. It is therefore crucial to teach students proper information and digital literacy skills. This will be covered in our library classes, co-managed by our library staff and our classroom teachers.

Education enhances the value of life. When we embrace the essence of reading and reading in education, and are dedicated to developing every child into a lifelong reading enthusiast, we will see the real power of education. Our children will understand their social responsibility, will inherit, develop and create a spirit of exploration in this peaceful and beautiful world. At JOY EL we will have readers of all genres of texts, knowledgeable, true readers, walking along the path towards wisdom. They will be world citizens in the future. They will have a wonderful journey to a better society and a better world through reading.

Finally, our JOY EL library will be a friendly and welcoming venue where our JOY EL family and its wider associates can build a wonderful community together. It will be a truly special place, the heart of our school!
