Violência escolar: o papel da Educação Física na resolução de conflitos

Abstract

We have observed that today, violence as a whole, has an important role in societies. All this violence phenomenon is observable in our everyday lives and has aroused the interest of researchers and authorities and in particular those which take the form of violence in schools. The school as a social institution, is suffering consequences of external factors that have generated conflicting events in that environment, undermining teaching and learning. In this perspective, this study aimed to understand the discipline of Physical Education in a differential for conflict resolution and violence in schools. Its theoretical base is held in Almeida and Abramovay and methodologically adopted a qualitative ethnographic research. In summary, this study finds that the discipline of Physical Education in this institution, has a potential aggregator and provides is to contribute to the minimization of violence in schools, however, this mediating role was less efficient than we assumed, it depends on several factors such as socioeconomic status of the individuals involved, the media and the public policies of education.
