PEDAGOGICAL COORDINATION AND DIVERSITY: A LITERATURE REVIEW ON COMBATING BULLYING IN SCHOOLS

Abstract

This study investigates bullying in the school environment and its implications for students, with emphasis on the role of educational management in preventing and combating such violence. The research was conducted through a narrative review of literature, analyzing public policies, conflict mediation and promotion of the culture of peace as essential strategies for building an inclusive and democratic school environment. It is characterized as applied research, with a qualitative approach and exploratory character. We consulted theoretical references published between 2010 and 2024, covering legislation, scientific articles and dissertations that discuss the prevention of bullying in schools. The data analysis followed the narrative literature review methodology, allowing a critical view of the state of the art on the subject. The results indicate that the Brazilian legislation, including the Statute of Children and Adolescents (SCA) and Law 13.185/2015, establishes guidelines for the prevention of bullying, but its implementation in schools still faces challenges. The study highlights different manifestations of bullying - physical, verbal, psychological, social and virtual - and its impacts on students' mental health, academic performance and social interaction. In addition, it highlights the crucial role of educational management in the early identification of the problem, the training of teachers and the development of institutional strategies to combat bullying. It is concluded that the fight against bullying requires an integrated approach, involving schools, families and communities. School management should foster awareness policies and conflict mediation strategies, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all students.
