Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

This study investigated students’ perceptions of the participation of girls and boys in episodes of lack of discipline, at a public school in Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais. The Diagnostic Questionnaire of Perception of Violence and Lack of Discipline According to Students’ Gender (Q-PIV), Table of Heteroclassification and Self-classification of Undisciplined Behavior (HAE) and semi-structured interview were used. 167 students from the 8th and 9th grades of elementary school participated. The results indicate that it is a mistake to think that the behaviors of girls and boys at school follow a strict pattern based only on social expectations of gender, since we found a multiplicity of attitudes of girls and boys towards school rules.
