Violência na escola: uma análise sobre o olhar da mídia sobre os casos registrados na E.M.E.F. Maria De Lourdes Machado Molina

Abstract

The violence is a phenomenon that plagues society as a whole. Our lives are invaded daily by news of crimes in all instances. The school is not out of this violent scenario. Therefore, this work seeks to make an analysis on the topic of violence that considers not violence itself, but the elements linked to it, the possible consequences in the school environment and bring a critique of journalistic coverage on this theme "violence in school", Which are often limited to exposing only the fact that occurred after an incident report was made, but do not account for showing the issues that generated this violence. The intention is to propose a reflection on the performance of the media in these situations and seek to turn the eyes of society to the issue in a broad way. In order to reach this goal, an exploratory research (Gil, 2008) was carried out at the Bagé municipal school that was most affected by the phenomenon in the year 2015. The school principal, teachers and students were subjects of the research. For data collection, interviews, questionnaires and analysis of reports on the topic were carried out. The analysis methodology used was that of content analysis (Bardin, 2006). The testimonies of students and teachers were fundamental to this work, because from the analysis made, it was possible to find clues to the main reasons that generate violence in the school chosen for this research: a violent neighborhood dominated by drug trafficking, unstructured families and Do not participate in the children's school life and ineffective strategies adopted by the school to reduce the problem. It was also possible to have an understanding of how the school community is portrayed by the media: a violent school, inserted in a poor neighborhood where there are no positive examples to show.
