Contribuições de intervenções educativas no enfrentamento da violência escolar híbrida mediada por redes sociais digitais

Abstract

Dealing with expressions of school violence is a historic challenge for educators, researchers and international agencies. In this way, research, in addition to carrying out investigations, has been dedicated to the development of interventions to face the multiple forms of school violence. The general objective of this study was: to analyze the contributions of analogical and virtual educational interventions, mediated by digital social networks, in the development of strategies for coping with school violence. This is an intervention, qualitative, analytical study, carried out in a large public school in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. During the data collection period, (6) analogical interventions (classroom workshops) and multiple interventions were carried out in the virtual environment (Whatsaap® and Instagram® social networks) with 648 students from the afternoon shift, which we named Edu-TEC:Violência -&-Health. To organize the results, the Collective Subject Discourse technique was used. This research was approved by the research ethics committee under opinion 3,168,239. The collective discourses reveal that, for students, the occurrence of violence is real, multiple and that the school is an unsafe and uncomfortable environment. At the same time, they recognize that violence also occurs in virtuality and goes beyond the physical environment of the school, that is, there is a perception that everything is one thing and violence is in both spaces, thus, violence is hybrid. The contributions of educational interventions, mediated by digital social networks, also emerge in the fight against school violence, since students point out that interventions may be able to bring about changes in attitude, but each individual must be responsible. The study shows EduTEC:Violência-&-Saúde constituted a powerful and effective educational technology, as it is structured from a research-intervention that uses the hybridization between the analogue ambience (physical space of the school) and virtual ambience using the potential of Whatsaap® and Instagram® social networks as a means of coping with violence in the school contexto.
