LUIZ, Maria Cecília. CONFLICTS, INCIVILITIES AND VIOLENCES: CHALLENGES WITHIN SCHOOL. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.64, e52. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v31.n.64.s15228.

This article aimed to understand how the school community – in general – and the teachers and the management team – in particular – have dealt with issues related to conflicts, incivilities and violence within the school. The investigation, of a quanti-qualitative character whose form is descriptive-analytical, collected, organized and analyzed the data from the perspective of the French Discourse Analysis, according to Orlandi (1999). The empirical research was carried out in two state public schools of Elementary Education Final Years in two medium-sized cities in the interior of São Paulo. There were four categories of analysis: verbal and physical violence at school; students' lack of interest and indiscipline; conflicting situations and the power relationship in the school space; and, educators' speeches about school practices and procedures. It was concluded that there is a duality in the school dynamics: when the educator makes use of his authority and establishes a hierarchical relationship, conflicts and violence inevitably happen; and when trying to understand the differences in the situations between the subjects, with tolerance, strengthens the relationships and reformulates common rules for possible adjustments.

Keywords : Incivility at School; School Violence; Educators' Speeches.
