Abstract

The educational field has not remained indifferent to the democratic precepts prevailing in Chile over the last decades. In this context, the subject of school violence, upon transgressing said precepts, represents a problem that has generated significant interest among academics, the media and the general public. This topic, however, has been addressed with high levels of theoretical, conceptual and even empirical confusion. The main objective of this paper is to critically analyze studies on understanding school violence in the national educational context. This investigation conducts a critical review of theoretical matrices that have been applied to analyze this phenomenon and defines constructs of violence that emerge and are reproduced in schools. This study will be used to clarify this phenomenon, and simultaneously contribute to the field of research on the study of school violence in Chile.
