El conflicto y su referencia en la escuela: una revisión de la literatura investigativa (2013-2023)

Abstract

Social conflict is a complex topic that arouses interest in many disciplines of knowledge and particularly in the educational field, closely related to coexistence and peace. It is for this reason, that the purpose of this documentary review article is to identify how the issue of conflict is addressed in educational institutions from the perspective of four journals with a recognized trajectory in education from 2013 to 2023. 101 articles were selected that had the word conflict in the title, abstract or keywords. After reading the abstracts and analysing them, 8 articles were selected that had a direct relationship with the approach to the issue in the classroom or in the school, resulting that the articles reviewed, they agreed with the importance of working on conflict in educational institutions, that the percentage of articles that report experiences in classroom is small with respect to the total number of articles and for the span of a decade. There is also a tendency to use the term conflict as a synonym for violence or armed confrontation and therefore the need to consult the theoretical-conceptual frameworks when these topics are brought to the classroom. Finally, it is recommended to create a cross-curricular subject with the same rigor as other areas of knowledge, where conflict is conceived not as a temporary event but as structural and structuring element of society.
