Percepciones sobre convivencia escolar y bullying en una institución educativa de Bogotá

Abstract

Teachers in their daily work face situations of violence that they do not know how to handle and that undoubtedly impact on learning environ-ments. The objective of the study was to analyze the pedagogical practices to improve the coexis-tence of girls and boys of 5th grade, the percep-tions they have about school coexistence and the need for bullying in an educational institution in Bogotá, Colombia. The selected method was the mixed study, it shows the conformation of stu-dents, professors and managers of a public school. Three validated instruments were applied: a sur-vey of perception of coexistence and a survey of perception of bullying applied to students and a semi-structured interview applied to teachers, co-ordinators and managers. As a result, it was found that there are favorable conditions for the phenom-enon of bullying to be generated, coupled with the lack of pedagogical projects that join students in conflicts without resorting to acts of aggression and violence. It is concluded that the educational institution does not recognize the importance of value and coexistence training from early child-hood and prioritizes the accumulation of knowl-edge, which explains the presence of conflict and its violent management, forming a hostile climate for the student.
