Indisciplina na escola: o que fazer?

Abstract

This research aims to investigate possible strategies that teachers can use to deal with the conflicts arising from student conduct, which are considered indiscipline by the school. This is because it is very common for teachers to complain about such behavior. I am a science teacher in elementary school and I come across this reality. For this reason, the research problem can be described in the following terms: what is possible, under the conditions we have, in a school, to make teachers and other education professionals better able to deal with conflicts classified as indiscipline, as well as to improve the relation of the school with the students? Our studies were mainly based on Freire, Arroyo, Aquino, Teixeira, among other scholars of the subject. We used as a methodological course the qualitative research of theoretical and empirical nature, because as a teacher, I am immersed in the space in my school and I observed extensively what happened there, I became interested and I came to know better the history of our students, as well as the situations of context and the performance of educators which led me to take a very different look. I did interviews and the time to interfere with my colleagues made a difference. I supported the partial participatory research, I investigated from this place, where it is my work, in joint construction with the pedagogical team, which involved the development of a plan of intervention with the peers, as well as reflect, evaluate collectively, perceive the correct answers and mistakes, to reapply actions, with the right to go back and forth, in a dialogical, free and meaningful relationship. In order to elucidate the research, the intervention plan was carried out through a mini-course for the training of teachers, with material developed according to the theoretical selection selected with the studies already carried out, as well as other cultural artifacts such as videos, illustrations, works of art, excerpts of movies. The mini-course was planned and accomplished from the consent of school management and faculty, using resources from the school itself, in extra-class moments. Our intention was to think about an action that could serve other schools. Part of the research used the literature review for the history of the events involving the disciplinary issues in schools, having as main concepts: the dialogicity, the openness to changes, the conquest of the space of reflection on the practice itself with the theory about the theme. And through this mini-course, pedagogical practices were debated and it was possible to build new pedagogical practices. It was intended, with the development of the research, that educators better understand what is behind the indiscipline, the factors involved, what happens and with that, that could make changes. The results turned in favor of the students, more stimulated and motivated for the studies. We understand that this is also a contribution to new and future research.
