Abstract

Violence is a social-historical phenomenon that accompanies the history of mankind, has different types and is generally difficulty to be identified. Its manifestations are numerous and affect all areas of life. In this regard, can be noted the growing concern on school violence. The interaction among school, family and community as well as the possibility of establishing a social network, constitutes a relevant factor in the protection and development of social skills in childhood and adolescence as well as for effective attention to violence in the school context. This study was aimed to identify and analyze social networks around the state high schools in Alfenas-MG in the dealing against cases of school violence. It is a descriptive research, exploratory, with qualitative approach. The field study consisted of six urban public schools in Alfenas-MG and the subjects were nine educational supervisors of those schools. The instruments for data collection were the Minimun Map of the Institutional Social Network and the semi-structured interview. The data analysis was supported in the frame of Content Analysis, Thematic modality, identifying the following Core Themes: The School and The Violence; Fight Against School Violence. The second Core Theme was divided in sub-themes: Internal Actions and Acting in Network. The phenomenon of violence is understood with difficulty and some actions are not perceived as violent. The schools conduct verbal or written warning, communicate the parents or guardians, come in contact with Child Protection Council, the Municipal Guard and the Public Prosecutor. Regarding the action in network, Child Protection Council, Public Prosecutor, Municipal Guard, City Hall and universities have emerged as support for the fight against school violence. Were found a small number of links and the significant weaknesses between those existing. It could be seen the need of strategies for orientation of students, staff, families and communities to confront the violence occurring in schools, requiring the strengthening of social networks.
