Violência escolar: estudo da produção acadêmica sobre a Educação (2010-2020)

Abstract

Violence is a social phenomenon, the result of a historical process, which materializes in class society in different ways, as well as in the institutions that constitute the social structure, such as the school. Through this understanding, this work aimed to investigate how school violence is discussed in academic productions, based on the Critical Theory of Society, especially the contributions of Adorno, Benjamin and Marcuse. This is a bibliographic research, whose sources are scientific articles on school violence published in the SciELO database between 2010 and 2020. To meet the research objectives, it was necessary to deepen the concept of violence and its multiple forms of manifestation, especially in the school environment. According to the material analysis of the research sources, it was found that the category school violence is broad, being used to name different phenomena, from name-calling to murders. In this sense, the most recurrent types of violence in the analysed productions were listed. Furthermore, it was identified that most works do not relate means and ends in the use of violence, that is, violence is analysed in isolation, without observing the purpose of its use. Finally, the majority of studies conceive school violence as an expression of social violence, so that it does not originate in school, but manifests itself in it
