LOPEZ, Verónica; VALDES, René; VALLE, Lorena Ramírez-Casas del and BALERIOLA, Enrique. HETEROGENEOUS TRANSLATIONS OF SCHOOL CLIMATE POLICIES IN CHILE. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.28, e280058. Epub May 23, 2023. ISSN 1809-449X. https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782023280058.
The objective of this study was to analyze how the school coexistence policy(ies) are translated into the educational field. The actor-network theory (ANT) was used to understand the complexity between central policies and local practices and a qualitative design with an emphasis on participatory methodologies through the technique of consensus conferences. Two public schools participated that, sharing similar guidelines and support from the intermediate level (municipality), present different academic and non-academic results. The content analysis revealed that the local translations, being heterogeneous, share the importance of a shared vision of school coexistence, the participation of the school community and a pedagogical approach to coexistence. The role of some sociotechnical devices and the importance of the participation of students and parents to move from a punitive organizational logic to a more formative one is discussed.
Keywords : school coexistence; education and politics; school-community relationship.
