OLIVEIRA-MENEGOTTO, Lisiane Machado de  and  MACHADO, Isadora. School bullying from the teacher's perspective. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp. 321-340. ISSN 1808-4281.

Bullying is a phenomenon characterized by acts of physical violence or verbal abuse that occur repeatedly and intentionally. The aim of this paper is to discuss the concept of school bullying from the perspective of the teachers of a private school in Brazil. Ten teachers participated in a semi structured interview, which was recorded and subsequently transcribed. A content analysis was performed, leading to different main topics for discussion. Results highlight the importance of looking at student and teacher, with the incorporation of more acts of observation and listening into pedagogical practices. Thus, teachers and students should have a space where they can speak and be listen, so that bullying does not go unnoticed. The study also suggests the importance of the work of Psychology in the school setting to ensure a healthy space in terms of teacher-student, teacher-teacher and student-student relationships.

Keywords : bullying; school violence; inclusion; teachers.
