Espaço escolar na contradição: educação e violência – experiências de professores no contexto da educação básica

Abstract

This dissertation was developed in the Graduate Program in Education, the ―Training, Knowledge and Professional Development Research Line‖, of the ―Federal University of Santa Maria‖ (PPGE/UFSM). The text presents a theoretical-methodological basis and addresses the title ―School space in contradiction: education and violence – teachers' experiences in the context of basic education‖. The objective of this work is to identify and understand situations experienced by teachers, regarding the reflexes and impacts of the phenomenon of violence in their daily lives, the ways in which teachers act and react in the face of situations that can be considered violence, as well as the objective of pointing out the results that are occurring in the lives of education professionals and the ways of coping with these situations in the school institution, especially regarding situations of physical and verbal hostility, discrimination, and fear, anguish, fatigue, irritability, drug addiction, physical and emotional illness, as possible effects of the phenomenon of violence in the internal and external environments of schools. This study is important in the sense of helping to understand why many teachers get sick in the work environment, as evidenced by Public Health, as well as to indicate pedagogical possibilities to deal with this problem in the concrete day-to-day relationships of school education. The dissertation contemplates the theoretical basis, through bibliographic research, to then present the empirical research and interpretation of the information brought by the interlocutor teachers, either through conversation or questionnaires, due to the pandemic situation. Although the methodology that Gibbs (2009) and Stake (2011) call qualitative analysis is used, in the case of the present research it is more appropriate to speak of a hermeneutic procedure, having as a previous horizon of understanding the ―Culture of Peace‖, which will be present in the entire process, from conducting narrative interviews, interpreting/understanding the professors' statements, to preparing the final essay.
