School Library Contribution to Student Achievement as Measured by the Brazil-Reading Test

Open access
Paiva, Marilia, Duarte, Adriana·2017·School Libraries Worldwide

Abstract

This paper describes descriptive research conducted in the libraries of 24 public schools in 3 Brazilian cities, with the aim of analyzing and understanding possible contributions of the school libraries to students' Brazil-Reading Test results. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected using observation and survey techniques. Results suggested that it was not possible to establish a relationship between the quality of the libraries and students' outcomes, since it was found that most of the school libraries did not even meet basic requirements.

  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    Successful school libraries can be located in schools with strong student success.

    “we proceed from the assumption that besides that successful school libraries can be located in schools with strong student success.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The Brazil Test is a valid proxy of public school effectiveness.

    “This test is used as a proxy of 127 public school effectiveness.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Many complex social and cultural factors act on school outcomes, making it difficult to discern the contribution of the school and the library.

    “Therefore, good libraries could not be directly related to good school results because many complex social and cultural factors act on those outcomes, making discerning the contribution of the school and of the library much more challenging in some contexts.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Changes in schools do not occur so quickly, so the school's effect indicator calculated as an average between 2007 and 2011 remains valid.

    “although we consider that the changes in the schools do not occur so quickly, which allowed us to consider the indicator valid.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
