THE CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES OF SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY FACING BULLYING

ABSTRACT

This is a report of the practical activities of an extension project carried out in a State Elementary School in Manaus (AM), aiming to problematize with teachers the theme of bullying in the school context. Four workshops were developed: (1) Identifying the concept of bullying in everyday school life; (2) What academic research has said about bullying?; (3) How to combat the dynamics of bullying in a school context?; (4) Collectively building actions to fight bullying. The main results found were: (a) actions to confront violence aimed mainly at the subjects involved in the situation; (b) close relationship between bullying and prejudice; (c) judicialization of the educational process; and, (d) collective action as a critical practice for dealing with bullying. Therefore, we conclude that the school psychologist must discuss and enable the debate about bullying and its forms of intervention in the school environment.
