The Context of School Violence in Secondary Education Case of three secondary schools within the district of Ain Merane in Chlef.

Abstract

During the latest decades, schools have witnessed many phenomena, some of which are regarded as intruders to the field of education. One of these strange behaviours is that of school violence, which should be by principle distanced and abstracted from the educational environment. This contradictious fact is the subject of this investigation as it has unfolded very quickly and then, leading to the creation of a taxonomy. This research targets the relationships between individuals involved in schools. It rather deals with the inside and outside school variables that govern the occurrence of this unusual comportment. This attempt investigates “the context” of violent actions in the Algerian secondary schools. The aim of the study was to examine the issue of school violence among students. A mixed method approach was used to gather data. The sample who participated in this research were 24 teachers (13males and 11females) and 20 pupils (7males and 13 females) from three secondary schools within the district of Ain Merane in chlef. The results showed that the issue of school violence affect negatively the learners’ learning atmosphere and it has several causes and consequences. This exploratory analysis is also concerned with providing possible recommendation if not to reduce at least the occurrence of the schools’ violence that is causing the education process to be a truncated perspective.
