DOMINGUEZ ARTEAGA, Rosa Amelia. Characteristics and influence of Library Schools on educational achievement in Tamaulipas. Investig. bibl [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.83, pp.145-165.  Epub Dec 09, 2020. ISSN 2448-8321.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iibi.24488321xe.2020.83.58100.

The objective of this investigation was to examine the conditions of school libraries and to determine the lineal correlation between them and the educational achievement in secondary schools in Tamaulipas. In order to do so, the method relies upon descriptive statistical procedures. As a first step, a general description of school libraries in the state is presented as well as the educational achievement of the level selected. As a second step, the Pearson correlation coefficient between libraries availability per students and the results of the National Plan for Learning Evaluation (PLANEA) on level IV in the area of Language and Communication was calculated. On the one hand, results show significant gaps between the availability of libraries and the distribution of students on the higher level in the PLANEA test among municipalities. On the other, the correlational results indicate a negative correlation between the availability of school libraries and educational achievement in the state.

Keywords : School Library; Educational Achievement; Library Correlation and Educational Achievement; Tamaulipas.
