In)Discipline: A (Re)Construction

Abstract

Indiscipline currently presents itself as an important element within the school space, since the entire school community, teachers, students, parents and management nucleus perceive its presence, often placing it as one of the aspects that hinder the teaching-learning process. The general objective of the research is to search for an explanation about the construction of indiscipline that deviates from common sense and comes closer to a scientific explanation, since discussions on the topic always refer to different opinions without reaching a common denominator. The work was carried out based on the analysis of indiscipline in two elementary schools in the municipality of Banabuiú. As a research instrument, we chose a questionnaire in which, answering the guiding questions raised in the research, it was found that the different actors in the school space still cannot understand indiscipline in a meaningful way, as a construction. We understand this work as a possibility and a proposal for a different view on (in)discipline within schools, and thus seek to resize our actions. We are aware of the limits and shortcomings of this work, which is why we leave it open to criticism and suggestions.
