Narrativas sobre convivencia escolar en estudiantes de grado octavo de la I.E.D. Policarpa Salavarrieta, Bogotá D.C.

Abstract

This research gathers the narratives of the 803rd grade students at Policarpa Salavarrieta School regarding their school coexistence, exploring their interpretations of peer relationships, forms of everyday violence, and the conflicts they face. Based on a pedagogical project, five activities were selected to analyze the students' perceptions of themselves, their classmates, and the contexts of school conflict. The study examines how students experience and reproduce various forms of violence, as well as the strategies they use to resolve conflicts either peacefully or violently. The research also delves into the metaphors and analogies that students use to represent school coexistence, highlighting their critical and creative abilities to reflect on these issues. The potential of students to advance in conflict resolution is emphasized, as is the importance of fostering their development through innovative pedagogical approaches. The findings suggest the need to continue exploring coexistence dynamics in educational settings, particularly in vulnerable populations.
