Social representation of scholl indiscipline

ABSTRACT

The article analyzes the commentaries of teachers (n=414) in two social networks on the topic of school indiscipline. The approach is pluri-methodological, with an exploratory-descriptive character based on content analysis. For the textual analysis of commentaries, the software Alceste was employed, which divided the corpus in three classes: Class 1, disciplinary problems encountered in everyday teaching in the classroom; class 2, extracurricular causes of indiscipline; class 3, coercive actions to curb indiscipline. On the basis of the commentaries the conclusion was made that there is a dominant social representation guided by defensive attitudes, heteronomous understanding and explanation exogenous to the school and educational environment, and another minor one, of relational nature that takes into account the interaction of the factors that produce it.
