Desarrollo e implementación de un modelo de características o indicadores de calidad para evaluar los blogs de bibliotecas escolares de centros de educación infantil y primaria

Abstract

The purpose of the present work was to design a weighted features or indicators model for the specific evaluation of school library blogs for preschool and primary education, and to apply it to public education centers in Extremadura (Spain), resulting in a quality ranking of the blogs based on the features included. The design of the weighted features model started with the prior design of 32 indicators. The model is based on two parameters: the weight assigned to each feature by two expert groups according to its relevance for blogs (values of 1, 2 and 3), and the blogs' degree of compliance with that feature (values of 0, 0.5 or 1). The results of this practical application of the model show that a high proportion of features (65.62%) are not included by more than 50% of the blogs, and factors such as the number of inhabitants in a blog's geographical region do not directly influence its quality ranking.
