Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O tema central da nossa dissertação é a violência e a educação nos valores no contexto escolar. O tema é abordado a partir da bibliografia disponível e da investigação realizada durante seis meses com os adolescentes da turma BP1 da EMEF Chico Mendes do Bairro Mário Quintana, em Porto Alegre, com o objetivo de investigar os fatores que, numa proposta de educação para a paz, favorecem o desenvolvimento de comportamentos pró-sociais nos adolescentes e evitam comportamentos violentos no contexto escolar. O texto está estruturado em quatro capítulos. Os dois primeiros estão dedicados à fundamentação teológica e psicopedagógica da investigação, referenciada, basicamente, nas contribuições teóricas advindas de três linhas de pesquisa: em teologia, em psicologia social e do desenvolvimento e em pedagogia, especialmente na linha de educação nos valores e educação para a paz. Neste sentido, opta-se por um modelo de educação integral e solidária. O terceiro capítulo da dissertação descreve o percurso e a opção metodológica adotada na investigação, que é qualitativa. A técnica adotada é a pesquisa de campo, a partir de uma atitude participante. Por fim, no quarto capítulo, fazem-se a análise e o comentário dos dados coletados, tomando como referência básica as quatro variáveis trabalhadas no programa de intervenção implementado durante seis meses com os adolescentes sujeitos da investigação e relacionadas todas elas com comportamentos pró-sociais: auto-estima, expressão/compreensão de sentimentos, relações de cooperação e resolução de conflitos. A pesquisa constatou sinais de avanços nos comportamentos pró-sociais dos adolescentes, mostrando a possibilidade de educar para a paz nas escolas através de programas de intervenção psicopedagógica específicos e de fácil implementação. / The central theme of our dissertation is violence and education regarding the values at school. This theme is discussed based on the bibliography available and an local investigation. This investigation was carried through six months, with adolescents of class BP1 of EMEF Chico Mendes from Bairro Mário Quintana in Porto Alegre. The objective of that research was to investigate the factors that, in a proposal of education for peace, favors the development of pro-social behaviors in the adolescents and prevents violent behavior at school. The text is structured in four different chapters. The first two chapters are related to the theological-psycho-pedagogical foundations of the research. This refers to the contributions of theory from three areas of research, namely: Theology, Social Psychology and Education Development, especially in the line of educational values and education for peace. Therefore, is decided on a model of education based on the ideas of complete education and education for solidarity. The third chapter describes the course and the method used to carry out this research, which is the qualitative one. The adopted technique is the field research with participant attitude. The fourth chapter is based on the analysis and comments of collected data. For that purpose reference was made to the four parameters worked in the program of intervention. This was implemented during six months with the teenagers regarding their pro-social behaviors: self-esteem, expression / comprehension of feelings, cooperation relations and resolution of conflicts. The research showed advancements in the pro-social behavior of the adolescents, indicating possibilities of education for peace in schools. This could be done by means of specific psycho-pedagogical intervention programs, which are easily implemented.

The Spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is a gregarious carnivore known for its strictly structured hierarchical rank relationships. At the zoo of Borås a clan, consisting out of two Spotted hyenas, are participating in an ex-situ program. In order to successfully enact conservational work, within zoos, sustainable management of zoo populations is of importance, and the behavioral aspect is vital in enabling welfare. In this study, I observed social interactions and activity in the Spotted hyenas at the zoo of Borås, for ten continuous days. The study aimed to investigate the dominance relationship and daily activity of the individuals. Furthermore, if this correlates with concentrations of testosterone. I performed two different observational studies, one focusing on social and agonistic behaviors, and the other on general behaviors. A third method, blood sampling, was intended to be performed but due to non-optimal conditions it was not executed. The results implied that the two individuals were highly nocturnal, with activity peaks to be observed during the first half of the night and at dawn. The individuals spent the majority of the time, 60.6%, resting which signifies that they are active during shorter periods. They were highly social with each other, but force measurements and aggressive displays did occur, mainly during the night. Sansa was the one taking initiative in conflicts, which suggests attempts in dominating Arya. Further, this indicates that the activity and dynamic of the individuals resembles that of a wild population, along with corresponding with previously performed studies and behavioral descriptions.
