THE ROLE OF SCHOOLS IN DEALING WITH INDISCIPLINE: DIAGNOSIS AND PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

This article seeks to understand, through field research at a municipal school in the municipality of Araucária, Paraná, which serves elementary school students (grades 1 to 5), the behavior of students in relation to the school environment, that is, their modes of socialization and interaction at school, as well as the possible reasons that lead to student indiscipline. For the field research, instruments such as observations, interviews with teachers, and analysis of school documents (Pedagogical Policy Project and student incident reports) were used. The analysis of empirical data was based on authors such as: FERREIRA & ARCO VERDE (2001); GINZBURG (1989); LAHIRE (1997); RATTO (2006); THIN (2006); VARELLA (1992); VIEIRA (2002); VIÑAO FRAGO (1998). Based on the research and analysis, it was found that professionals are committed to ensuring education, aiming at the inclusion of all students, but also that school indiscipline may be rooted in various aspects, such as family, school, and social factors.
