Evaluación cualitativa del manual de convivencia de la Escuela Normal Superior Distrital María Montessori desde las orientaciones del ministerio de educación y de la secretaria de educación de Bogotá sobre el enfoque de justicia escolar restaurativa

Abstract

This research is a qualitative case study carried out at the María Montessori District High School in Bogotá, in order to evaluate the coexistence manual from the restorative school justice approach proposed by the educational policy of Colombia and the guidelines of the Bogotá Education Secretariat. This evaluation allows a review of the manual to define strategies that make it feasible to implement restorative school justice at the School and thus improve the school climate. To achieve this, 3 research phases were established: In the first phase, the criteria for data collection and evaluation were defined, resulting in the selection of 4 research categories: restorative justice, coexistence manual, school climate and restorative practices; with these, questions were constructed and semi-structured interviews, focus groups and analysis of institutional documents such as the evaluation system, the institutional educational project and the coexistence manual were designed. These categories were very useful for carrying out the second phase of data collection and analysis resulting from the application of the instruments already defined and applied to teachers, counselors and high school students in grades 9, 10, and 11. These categories also allowed for the analysis of documents and the construction of the final report of results and improvement strategies. Finally, as phase three, the results were shared with the educational community represented by the coexistence committee.
