VIOLENCE AND PREVENTION IN SCHOOL: THE POSSIBILITIES OF LIBERATION PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

It reflects about the issue of violence in the context of a Brazilian public school. Reviewing the literature on this topic we highlighted the design constructed by Ignacio Martín - Baró. We took the concept of limit-situation constructed by the author with the goal of investigate which are the teacher’s conception about limit-situations. A questionnaire was constructed consisting of guiding questions that were answered by two teachers of a public elementary school in a city in the state of São Paulo. The method is based on Historical Dialectical Materialism and seeks to show, through the responses to the questionnaire, the confrontation between a concept theoretically systematized and senses that it can take in practice. Promoting awareness of these senses and the role of the school psychologist in school and comunity are needs identified by the results whose implications should sustain future research.
