The evaluation of school-based community conferences

Englot Stusick, Erib B., University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Education January 2007 (has links)
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a school-based Community Conferencing program utilized in response to student acts of misconduct or violence. The satisfaction levels of the various participants involved, the effects on suspension and expulsion rates, the rates of recidivism, the types and follow through of restoration agreements made, and the offences that respond best to Community Conferences were examined. Role-specific surveys were administered to the various participants in 12 Community Conferences with 105 surveys completed immediately following the Conference and 70 surveys completed via telephone four weeks after the completion of the Conference. Data were analyzed using descriptive, qualitative, and chi-square methods of analyses. This study provides evidence for the success and satisfaction of incorporating this type of restorative programming into current philosophies and policies within school divisions as an alternative to zero tolerance policies. Participants in various roles reported satisfaction with several aspects of the Conference and its outcome, positive personal changes resulting from the Conference, and positive experiences overall regarding participation. Additionally, a potential decrease in the use of suspension and expulsion, provides further support for its use. The findings of this study provide a baseline for satisfaction levels, types of restoration agreements made, and rates of recidivism regarding school-based Community Conferences. Results can aid in the process of decision-making for those considering the use of restorative programming in schools. Due to the high rates of overall satisfaction, the model used in this research by the Edmonton Public School Division, along with the suggestions made by the researcher, can provide a representation upon which others can base implementation of a similar program. / xv, 306 leaves ; 29 cm. --

Educating for peace at pre-school : a case study of Khulanathi educare centre.

Umurerwa, Blandine. January 2003 (has links)
Pre-schools, as the entry point to formal education are increasingly expected to play an invaluable role in the promotion of peace. As such, this study sets out to investigate the nature and extent to which one pre-school, namely Khulqnathi Educare Gentre in Pietermaritzburg (KEG), adheres to the 'peaceful schools' model with respect to its organization, curriculum, learning methods and the handling of conflict. The research approach taken in this study was qualitative and exploratory, relying on self-administered questionnaires, reviewing literature and documentary analysis. The researcher also spent some time at the school to observe day-to-day activities. Parents and teachers constituted the study's respondents. The study reveals an innovative approach to teaching at KEG in which peace education is treated as an integral part of the entire learning and teaching processes. This innovation gets impetus from the school's constitution, which endorses peace education. Peace values are promoted through the curriculum in general, and in particular, the teaching and learning methods and in the school's approaches to handling conflict. Peace education does not stand out as an explicit goal. Rather, it is an integral compc;ment of the four cornerstones of the KEG's learning and teaching processes. Approaches to resolving conflict through dialogue at the school further demonstrate the school's adherence to the peaceful school model. A close working relationship between the school staff and parents ensures that children are exposed to peace values both at home and at school. In summary, the questionnaires, observations and the school documents lead to the conclusion that KEG is closely conforms to the peaceful school model. The study also offers some general insights on peace education in pre-schools and some recommendations specifically meant for Khulanthi Educare's situation. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.

A quantitative analysis of juvenile delinquency trends among school going adolescents in a select sample of secondary schools in Chatsworth, Durban.

Marimuthu, Bonita Adele. 04 September 2014 (has links)
This quantitative study explores juvenile delinquency trends among school going adolescents in a select sample of schools. The study conducted in Chatsworth, Durban (Kwa Zulu-Natal) was developed as an exclusively Indian Township in the 1960‘s but since the 1990s more and more Africans moved into the area. Nonetheless Chatsworth remains predominantly ‗Indian‘ in terms of its demography and character. Permission and ethical approval for this study were obtained from the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee of the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal- Howard College Campus. The study consisted of a sample of 750 respondents randomly selected from two secondary schools in Chatsworth. A non-probability sampling method was followed. The main aim of this exploratory study was to understand trends in juvenile delinquency among adolescents in the area of Chatsworth through a quantitative lens. The study was carried out through coded self-administered questionnaires, administered to Grade 8,9,10, and 11 learners with the assistance of the educators at the identified schools during the Life-Orientation class periods. This study revealed that there were significant correlations between gender (male and female) and modes of punishment; norm violations; regulation violations; and malicious damage to property, followed by age (13-18 years) and modes of punishment; norm violations, and regulation violations, race (African, Indian, Coloured, White, Other) and modes of punishment; norm violations and regulation violations, and lastly religion (Christian, Hindu, Islam and Nazareth) and modes of punishment; regulation violations and malicious damage to property. The findings in this study forms a critical empirical study for future research in the field of juvenile delinquency/offending. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2014.

The role of intergroup conflict in school-based violence in the Johannesburg Central Education District Schools: towards a strategy for peace education implementation

Mkhomi, Moses Sipho January 2016 (has links)
School-Based Violence (SBV) is prevalent in South Africa and globally. SBV is one of the challenges that the South African education system is facing resulting in a new deep-rooted culture of unsafe and insecure schools. Teachers are expected to teach learners, who display antisocial behaviour. These learners swear, back chat, verbally and physically abuse and show total disrespect for teachers. The presence of such learners has turned schools into battle field. This violence is not exclusively directed to teachers, but learners are also the common victims of bullying in particular. This study therefore sought to investigate how intergroup violence impacts on the schoolbased violence. The concepts, Intergroup Conflict (IC) and gangs/gangsterism were used interchangeably to describe actions of individuals who take part in the social conflict, driven by competition, antagonism and aggression within the school context.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Ronaldo Venas.pdf: 1017398 bytes, checksum: 6988e675b1720bf3b761f5a2ec7d4ecf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Esta dissertação trata de um estudo de caso sobre as ações gestoras em situação de violência. As ações fazem parte do modo como a equipe gestora atua em situações de violência na escola. O estudo da violência requer um entendimento amplo sobre como ocorre para que as ações possam atuar nas causas do problema. Procuramos identificar as variantes que interferem na escola, que são da escola e as que são contra a escola, articulando essas variantes ao processo de transformação da direção em gestão que passaram os dirigentes educacionais. Para identificar o modo como a equipe gestora atua procuramos perceber como alunos, professores e gestores vêem a violência no espaço escolar. Posteriormente, fizemos a relação entre projeto político pedagógico e o regimento interno e as ações gestoras de enfrentamento do problema. Dessa maneira, objetivamos compreender as práticas gestoras de resolução dos conflitos. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola da periferia de Salvador com alto índice de violência. Com uma amostra de 103 alunos, 10 professores e 5 membros da equipe diretiva. Para a coleta dos dados foram utilizados o grupo focal, a entrevista semiestruturada, a aplicação de questionário e a observação sistemática. Os resultados indicaram a presença de baixa sociabilidade no ambiente escolar, ausência de um eficaz sistema de regras, a falta de um sentimento de pertença na participação do conselho escolar, a presença da droga e da intimidação como causa para os casos de violência física e psicológica ocorridos durante o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. Concluímos esse trabalho apresentando as estratégias que podem potencializar o papel do gestor escolar em situação de violência. / Salvador

Manuel Alfonso Díaz Muñoz 18 December 2006 (has links)
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.

Educar para a paz: comportamentos pró-sociais

Manuel Alfonso Díaz Muñoz 06 July 2011 (has links)
O tema central da tese é a educação para a paz na escola. É abordado a partir da bibliografia disponível e da investigação realizada durante o ano letivo de 2009 com 151 adolescentes de quatro escolas da rede pública e particular da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. A pergunta fundamental e motivadora da tese é: é possível educar para a paz na escola? Com o foco nesta questão central e a partir da hipótese inicial de que na medida em que educarmos comportamentos pró-sociais na escola, inibiremos os comportamentos violentos, foi realizada a pesquisa de campo com o objetivo geral 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. Foram objetivos específicos da investigação realizada os seguintes: entender a educação para a paz como um compromisso fundamentado na experiência religiosa expressada nas diferentes tradições e como elemento central numa proposta de diálogo inter-religioso; estudar a adolescência como etapa privilegiada de intervenção psicopedagógica; analisar os efeitos da aplicação de um programa de intervenção psicopedagógica de educação para a paz na escola. A pesquisa combina métodos qualitativos e quantitativos ao usar o modelo experimental-estatístico, com um delineamento experimental multigrupo de medidas repetidas pré-teste/pós-teste, junto com o observacional-descritivo, privilegiando a observação participante. O primeiro capítulo é dedicado à fundamentação teológica da tese desde uma perspectiva pluralista e libertadora que privilegia o diálogo inter-religioso. O segundo capítulo é dedicado à fundamentação psicopedagógica da pesquisa e reflete sobre o binômio educação integral para a paz / comportamento pró-social. O terceiro capítulo descreve o percurso e a opção metodológica adotada na investigação. Finalmente o quarto analisa os dados coletados tomando como referência básica as quatro variáveis trabalhadas no programa de intervenção implementado com os adolescentes sujeitos da investigação e relacionadas todas elas com comportamentos pró-sociais: autoestima, expressão/compreensão de sentimentos, relações de cooperação e resolução de conflitos. A pesquisa constatou a efetiva diminuição dos comportamentos violentos dos adolescentes na sala de aula, especialmente nas escolas da rede pública participantes, junto com sinais de avanços na manifestação de comportamentos pró-sociais, mostrando que é possível e viável educar para a paz nas escolas através de programas de intervenção psicopedagógica específicos e de fácil implementação. / The central theme of theses is education for the peace at school. This theme is discussed based on the bibliography available and on investigation. The investigation was carried through the school year of 2009 with 151 adolescentes from four public schools in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte. The fundamental and motivating question of the thesis is: Is it possible to educate for peace at school?With the focus on this central issue and from the initial hypothesis that the extent to educate pro-social behavior at school, inhibit violent behavior. A field research was conducted with the aim to investigate the factors that, in a proposal of education for the peace, favors the development of pro-social behaviors in the adolescents and prevents violent behavior at school. Our research was motivated by the following points: understanding education for the peace as a religious experience based on the commitment expressed in the different traditions and as a central element in a proposal for inter-religious dialogue and to study the adolescent stage as prime psychopedagogical intervention, analyze the implementation of a psychopedagogical intervention program of education for the peace at school. The research combines qualitative and quantitative methods to use the experimental-statistical model, with a multigroup experimental design with repeated measures pre-test/post-test, along with observational and descriptive, focusing on participant observation. The first chapter is related to the theological foundation of the research from a pluralistic and liberating perspective that focuses interreligious dialogue. The second chapter refers to the psychopedagogical fundamentals of the research and reflects on the dual integral education for peace / pro-social behavior. The third chapter describes the course and the methodological approach used to carry out this research. 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 implemented with adolescent subjects of the investigation and all of them related to prosocial behaviors: self-esteem, expression / comprehension of feelings, cooperation relations and conflict resolution.The research showed the effective reduction of violent behaviors of adolescents in the classroom, especially in public schools participating, along with signs of progress in the demonstration of prosocial behaviors, showing that it is possible and feasible to educate for the peace at schools through psychopedagogical intervention programs which are easily implemented.

Violências escolares: falas de educadores

Maria de Fátima Ferrão Castelo Branco 02 September 2014 (has links)
Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de refletir sobre a experiência dos educadores sobre violências escolares. Participaram deste estudo vinte e quatro educadores de três escolas, entre elas, uma pública e duas privadas (uma empresarial e outra religiosa) da Região Metropolitana do Recife. O objetivo geral este estudo foi: compreender como os educadores experienciam as violências escolares em seu cotidiano institucional e os específicos foram: caracterizar os professores quanto ao sexo, idade, tempo de experiência na educação, formação acadêmica; descrever as experiências dos educadores sobre violências escolares e identificar como os educadores se percebem em relação à temática das violências escolares. A partir de uma metodologia qualitativa, como instrumento para coleta dos dados utilizamos conversas coletivas com roteiro de perguntas. Os resultados foram analisados a partir da teoria da Representação Social (RS) que diz respeito a um processo criativo de elaborações cognitivas e simbólicas que servem de orientação ao comportamento humano, além de ser um mecanismo de desenvolvimento do objeto social pela comunicação interpessoal, de grupos, de massa e para análise dos dados coletados utilizamos o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) por se tratar de uma técnica de tabulação e organização de dados qualitativos que tem como fundamento a teoria da RS. O DSC permite, através de procedimentos sistemáticos e padronizados, agregar depoimentos sem reduzi-los a quantidades. No DSC surgiram algumas Ideias Centrais (ICs), assim descritas: Insatisfação do educador / adoecimento; Desinteresse dos alunos; Contexto família / escola; Vínculo professor / aluno e Expressões de violência. Os resultados alcançados neste estudo nos permite afirmar que as experiências dos educadores sobre violência escolar se referem a confrontos travados, cotidianamente, por eles no sentido de estabelecer vínculos entre bem-estar pessoal e profissional no ambiente de trabalho, na busca permanente de parceria com as famílias no processo de educar, a preservação da afetividade e da capacidade em lidar com as violências que atingem o meio escolar. Palavras- chave: educação; escola; violência.
