A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Education in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies at the University Of Zululand, South Africa, 2016 / Violence in schools is one of the most challenging issues facing educators, policy makers, learners, parents and the community in South Africa at large. Sometimes it occurs without educators and parents being aware of it and in most cases, learners specifically girls are reluctant to report their experiences of violence. Because the entire community is continually searching for ways to address this problem in schools, it is hoped that this study may offer some valuable insights. This study focuses on school violence in the Umbumbulu circuit affecting the safety and learning of learners. Educators are also affected to a great extent. Many factors were considered when investigating the problem of school violence. The problem was traced from the theorist’s perspectives and the factors related to the family, school and the community. An extensive literature review shows that the above-mentioned factors contributed to school violence. In order to support or reject the findings of the literature study, qualitative research was conducted. Empirical data from four high schools in the Umbumbulu circuit in Durban in the South region of KwaZulu Natal were collected by means of individual interviews. Thirty two educators were interviewed including principals and senior educators in order to determine whether violence is increasing or decreasing. The study was aimed at investigating the common types of violence and the nature thereof. The causes of violence including the triggers, all form an integral part of this investigation. The teacher experiences and responses to the interviews as part of the qualitative research revealed that a culture of violence existed in these schools, and that corporal punishment was still practised. Educators’ perceptions on school violence at their schools revealed that bullying persisted, especially when there was no teacher supervision. Deep anger from learners, tribal disputes and drugs were some of the factors that triggered violence in the Umbumbulu circuit. Based on these findings recommendations for the implementation of prevention programmes were made.

Busca conhecer que tipos de comportamentos, ocorridos no âmbito escolar, são classificados como indisciplina ou violência. O estudo baseia-se em dados coletados na realidade escolar e na fundamentação teórica, com ênfase na obra de Michel Foucault. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são 10 professores de quinta à oitava série do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública de Maringá, Estado do Paraná, que constituem, neste nível de escolaridade, a totalidade dos professores deste estabelecimento, e são, portanto, ao mesmo tempo, a população e a amostra. O trabalho desenvolve-se durante o ano letivo de 2003. A metodologia adotada é a pesquisa quanti-qualitativa, na abordagem etnográfica. Os procedimentos utilizados são a observação, questionário semi-estruturado, entrevista e análise documental. Os resultados mostram que boa parte dos professores está sem saber o que fazer diante do atual quadro de indisciplina na sala de aula. Sentem-se subjugados, enfraquecidos, acuados por uma parte dos alunos, pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e pelo Conselho Tutelar. Embora declarem que a indisciplina não esteja necessariamente relacionada com o desempenho escolar dos alunos indisciplinados, entendem que esses interferem negativamente, tanto no trabalho do professor, quanto no aprendizado dos demais. A maioria acredita que a escola está vivendo uma crise de autoridade e os professores sentem-se subjugados, tentam entender melhor o que está ocorrendo e questionam quais os comportamentos, ou atitudes, que devem adotar diante do atual quadro, querem refletir sobre como pensar o novo e redimensionar as relações de poder. / Abstract: This work analyses the (in)discipline and the violence in schools according to the conception of Primary School teachers, and tries to identify when students' behavior (during school time) is considered indiscipline or violence. Besides the theoretical side of the research, based on Michael Foucault's work, this study also includes field research data. These data were collected from 10 Primary Scholl teachers in a public school in Maringa, Parana. These 10 teachers represent, at the same time, the population and the sample of the collected data, once they correspond to the total number of Primary School teachers in the elected school. The data were collected in 2003, using a quantitative/qualitative methodology, which includes observation, semi-structured questionnaire, interview and documental analysis. The results showed that a big number of teachers don't know how to deal with the current stage of indiscipline in the classrooms. They feel weakly and pressured by some students, by the Children and Adolescent Act and by the Tutelary Council. Although they agree the indiscipline is not always related with the undisciplined students' academic performance, they recognize it interferes in their work and in the learning process of other students. The majority of teachers also believe that the school is living an authority crisis, and they are trying to find out the best behaviors and attitudes to be adopted in the current situation. / Doutor
