Violência na escola - revisão da literatura

Abstract

Violence at school is a social problem that has aroused great concern in society, leading to the need for in-depth studies on the topic. This monograph had the general objective of analyzing the literature published in the format of scientific articles between 2019-2023 on violence at school in the Brazilian context. The specific objectives were to identify the social factors that contribute to violence at school and discuss schools' strategies for dealing with reported violence. The methodology used was the integrative review, which worked with theoretical and empirical data, following the steps proposed by Whitemore and Knafl (2005), which include identifying the problem, collecting and evaluating data, and analyzing and interpreting them. The final universe was composed of 30 articles, collected from the CAPES Periódicos Portal and analyzed via the Content Analysis procedure. As results, four categories were constructed, namely: 1) School violence: bullying and cyberbullying; 2) Violence against teachers and illness; 3) Violence, family and school; 4) Strategies and prevention: a view from teachers and principals. The monograph covered important topics such as considerations about school, violence at school, violence against teachers and types of violence at school. The study contributes to a better understanding of violence at school and to the dissemination of effective strategies to deal with this problem, aiming to promote a safer and healthier school environment for everyone involved. The research highlighted the importance of public policies and educational actions that combat violence and promote ethical and peaceful coexistence in the school environment.
