Abstract

Abstract

This is a exploratory quantitative and qualitative research about school violence production, mainly when it is committed by teachers against children and adolescents, since it demonstrates the vulnerability of the institution caused by the violence. The goal is to understand the violence committed by teachers in the classroom in face of the Child and Adolescent  Statute (ECA) and the violence production mechanism, from this network. The sources were composed of ECA and 184 school stories produced in 2004, 2007 and 2010 by Pedagogy course students, offered by the College of Science and Arts – Universidade EstadualPaulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP) in the campus of Araraquara, state of São Paulo. The narratives were carried out through the inflexion to the Content Analysis technique (BARDIN, 1977), setting a categorical analysis, which allowed an empirical basis that refers to the requirements of ECA. The results highlighted that teachers commit violence against students in many ways and for different reasons at all educational levels; the verbal violence is the most committed one; the context of the situations in which this violence occurs happens specially toward learning; the most affected group is aged 8 or 9 years old, which corresponds to the 3rd grade of Elementary School Cycle I; teachers don’t respect ECA regarding the teacher-student relationship. This set of factors produces the school vulnerability.

Keywords: Violence. Teacher-Student Relationship. Statute of Child and Adolescent.
