Coexistence in schools: An analysis of the interactions of the students in a vulnerable school

Abstract

This document gives an account of a part of the research thesis carried out to obtain a degree in Primary Education, which was carried out in the City of Chihuahua, at the Amado Nervo Primary School. The subject of the study was a group of sixth grade composed of twelve students, seven teachers, and five parents, although this work only addresses part of the work done, which was carried out with the students. It was a qualitative research, in which the application of interviews and an observation guide was used as an instrument to record the interactions of the participating students inside and outside the classroom. The objective of the investigation was to know how school coexistence is lived inside the workplace, considering that the primary school corresponds to a vulnerable context. This problem arises from observing the discrimination, violence, and lack of inclusion that occurs in the primary schools of Chihuahua, considering the vulnerable context as a trigger for the lack of healthy and peaceful coexistence. Among the main findings found at the end of the work is the lack of interest of the students for having a healthy coexistence and lack of tolerance towards differences, likewise, it became evident a problem of violence among students and lack of respect for the academic authorities.
