Repensando a cultura da violência pela comunicação em sala de aula

Abstract

The communication used in most contemporary societies is based on communicative techniques of hierarchy based on merits of reward or punishment. In the school sphere, this type of communication brings in numerous problems to all the characters of this environment. The present work explores some of these problems and presents a study of communicative method as a possible solution. There is the main objective of analyzing some cases of verbal violence witnessed by students, in the light of the Culture of Violence and Nonviolent Communication. The methodology was qualitative research, with semi structured interviews with six pedagogy students from the Federal University of Paraíba. The analysis of the cases evidenced verbal violence in three types of school relations: in the relationship between students, in the relation of the student to his teacher and in the relation of the teacher to his students. Together with explanations and examples of the presented technique, the same analysis confirms the latter as a possibility of transformation and resolution of conflicts. Both studies, empirical and bibliographical, highlight the difference that the way of communicating brings to the school and all its surroundings.
