This research had its focus on the pedagogical practice of an elementary schoolteacher (second series) on a Public Elementary School of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, regarding to the facing way of the violence and conflicts occurred between the classmates in the classroom. In this context, it was verified if the schoolteacher s actions contributed to prevent the school violence expressions and affected the student s autonomy development. The adopted methodology was based in a qualitative approaching, by using the case study perspective. Piaget (1993; 1994; 1998), De Vries & Zan (1998), Sastre & Moreno (2002), Fante (2005), Tognetta (2005), Dani (2008), Tognetta & Vinha (2008) studies, among others, were used as theoretical basis to develop this research. The data collection was accomplished by means of observations made in the classroom, registered in a diary notebook, and a semi-structured interview with the schoolteacher. The data analysis is given through categories, organized as functions of the frequency and centrality of the findings to the analytical objective. Starting from this data evaluation, it was concluded that the schoolteacher s pedagogical practice contributed to build a cooperative environment in the classroom, allowing the student s autonomy development. Also, it was verified that the methods to solve the conflicts and psychical violence resulting from the relations among the students were, most of the time, in agreement to the possible ways to confront and prevent the violence at school.
