Teacher coping strategies in the face of peer violence from the primary teacher's perspective

2024-01-30T11:44:50-06:00

School violence between peers occurs in everyday school life with serious repercussions for the victims. Teachers can prevent or aggravate this phenomenon in the classroom and school context. The objective of this study is to analyze the coping strategies developed by teachers to prevent school violence between peers in Elementary-level schools located in vulnerable areas. This investigation is qualitative, and Merriam (2009) basic interpretative method was used to substantiate it. Fifteen teachers participated, recognized by directors and students for effectively standing up to violence between peers belonging to 8 public primary schools. For data collection, semi-structured interviews were used. The results were formed out of the following categories: a) preventive coping strategies; and b) reactive coping strategies. It was concluded that teachers develop preventive strategies, which allow them to reduce cases of school violence between peers and train the student in an integral way. However, when unexpected serious conflicts occur, the teacher uses reactive strategies to stop violent acts at that moment. From the teachers' perspective, both strategies are effective in dealing with the problem, especially in vulnerable contexts, since students are exposed to learning from a continuous stream of violent behaviors both on the street and at home, which are then replicated in the classroom.

Perception of gender violence in the students of higher education institutions. Case: FAD-UAEMéx

2024-01-30T11:44:42-06:00

Studying the conditions under which gender relations are established in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), particularly public ones, has become a necessity aimed at analyzing the ways of coexistence in these communities. This is due to the fact that the social relationships already established are replicated and are a replica of a social network that goes beyond the academic space. By addressing the Gender Perspective (GP), it is possible to contribute to promoting a reflection on the desired behavioral patterns for coexistence in groups. GP is understood as a strategy that results from socialization processes that seek equity and equality as shared values.

The objective of this article is to provide a descriptive analysis of the perception of gender-based violence as an act of discrimination among students of the Faculty of Architecture and Design (FAD) at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEMex). The intention is to highlight elements that promote its occurrence and to identify criteria for establishing strategies that can prevent the aforementioned phenomena.

Methodologically, the article presents results from on-site research diagnostics that expose the actors and environments involved in practices commonly categorized within violence and discrimination. It demonstrates how a quantitative methodological approach can generate data on the perception of discrimination and violence in the context, which will enable the establishment of GP strategies to prevent the naturalization of this violence.

2024-02-20T11:47:41-06:00

University-level writing is a skill in which other basic cognitive, discursive and linguistic skills are involved. Often students’ first year higher education students have difficulties writing in their chosen discipline, which may affect their academic performance. The aim of this quantitative cross-sectional and correlational study is to evaluate the relationships between three predictor variables supported by previous research (academic vocabulary, academic language, and reading comprehension) and academic writing. Sixty-one first-year college students were assessed on the predictor variables and academic writing during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results show that students have a relatively high mastery of academic vocabulary, a medium one of academic language skills, a low one of reading comprehension, and a very low one of academic writing. In the subsample that completed all assessments (n=42), significant moderate and strong correlations were identified between variables and academic writing, except for academic vocabulary. Results suggest that academic language skills, particularly connectors, and reading comprehension could be ideal candidates for intervention efforts that help strengthen the academic writing process of new college students.

Individualism as sustainable behavior regarding teamwork in higher education

2024-04-10T11:52:26-05:00

Teamwork is not a common skill in the evolution of the individual and, in general, certain conditions must be met to achieve its functionality and effectiveness in the educational environment. Consequently, the basic elements to achieve group objectives depend to a great extent on the individual capacity and its stimulating interaction with the team. In this sense, a study focused on answering the following question: What is the current state of knowledge about the relationship between individualism and teamwork in the context of higher education?

The methodology was a narrative review aimed at identifying three dimensions of analysis: 1) Individualism, 2) Cooperative learning and teamwork, and 3) Cooperative learning or teamwork together with individualism.

This review highlights that teamwork is integrated into the educational system with the objective of promoting knowledge construction. However, the literature indicates that it is necessary to study the lack of attention in students in order to obtain more favorable results. On the other hand, it was observed that individualism requires that students have the necessary skills and willingness to collaborate and learn, in order to achieve maximum effectiveness in teamwork.
