Abstract

ESTEVES, Pâmela Suélli da Motta. The judicialization of the school: the role of tutorial advice in the mediation of conflicts. ETD [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.343-363. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v20i2.8650654.

The many facets of violence that, enter the various educational institutions, invade the everyday of teachers and has been promoting destabilization among the many conceptions of teaching and learning. The various forms of school violence ranging from interpersonal conflicts, physical and psychic aggression, indiscipline and the episodes of massacre challenge the daily life of the entire school community, inciting the construction of "other practices" that take into account a critical look at the specific school’s culture. Thus, the current context of Brazilian education places the urgent task of thinking about the relations between a school’s culture marked by violence and the increasing judicialization of school relations. It is a matter of discussing the conflicts that lead us to the insertion of the legal system at the school as an institution that judges the conceptions of justice that must be legitimized. From these thoughts the article is divided into three linked parts. The first part comprises the singularities of school violence. The second part empirically investigates the role of the school in cases of conflict judicialization and suggests strategies / alternatives for understanding / solving school violence that minimize the search for the judiciary. Finally, the third and final part presents a conception of restorative justice as an alternative to the judicialization and construction of a more just school. The main defense of this article consists in the understanding that the judicialization of the school not only weakens the school autonomy, but allows a legal culture not sensitive to the situations experienced in the school to determine the paths to be followed.
