Violência escolar na educação infantil: conceitos, fatores contribuintes, consequências e políticas de prevenção

Abstract

School violence is a reality in many schools in Brazil, including in Early Childhood Education. Although conflicts at this stage may seem small, they can have serious impacts on children's development. This research aims to understand the phenomenon of school violence in Early Childhood Education. The specific objectives are: to understand concepts and definitions of school violence; to identify causes and contributing factors to the phenomenon of school violence; to highlight the main consequences of school violence; and to discuss policies to prevent school violence. The methodology used was a bibliographical research, based on books, scientific articles, educational laws, and recognized authors such as Abramovay (2002), Fante (2009), Paro (2007); Vygotsky (1991); Deslandes (2009). Documents which guides pedagogical as a strategy to prevent and combat school violence were also consulted. From the readings, we realized that school management plays an essential role in creating an environment of peace and respect within schools, promoting dialogue between teachers, parents and students. When school management gets involved and seeks solutions with empathy, firmness and active listening, the results are more positive. We conclude that preventing violence in Early Childhood Education must be taken seriously from an early age, and the actions of school management are a key part in transforming the school environment into a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
