Resumo: | Introduction: Bullying is a type of violence between peers characterized by intentionality, repetition and imbalance of power between victims and aggressors. The occurrence of bullying in the school context impairs students’ learning and healthy development. Objective: To analyze the educators’ understanding of bullying in the school environment. Methods: Cross-sectional and qualitative study carried out with 16 educators (principals, deputy principals, pedagogical coordinators and teachers) from two public schools in a city in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Semi-structured interviews that followed a script produced from indications in the specialized literature were conducted. The content of the interviews was recorded and transcribed in full. The interpretation of the data followed the assumptions of content analysis, in its thematic modality, considering the following steps: pre-analysis, exploration of the material, treatment of results and interpretation. Results: Three thematic categories were identified: 1) The centrality of families in the problems of schools in relation to the conception of educators; 2) Beliefs that establish explanatory links for bullying; and 3) Intervention actions developed in relation to bullying. The results show that educators’ beliefs hold families exclusively responsible for school problems and bullying. These conceptions stem from situations experienced in everyday life or from speeches of other education professionals who reiterate the absence of families and the little parental involvement in the issues of formal education of children as the major problem. Narratives of this nature denote the absence of an expanded understanding of bullying and its complexity. In addition to the family, the educators pointed out the influences of personality, the media and social standards as factors that can explain the involvement of students in bullying situations. For the participants, the most effective responses to minimize or respond adequately to school bullying require the participation of the family and some did not believe that the school could do something effective alone. In the data set, it was noticed that the educators’ beliefs and understandings about the problem of bullying prevent measures aimed at school aspects, which are more proximal to the occurrence of bullying, from being implemented. Conclusion: It is concluded that the investigated educators need to expand their understanding of bullying, in order to develop effective actions to face this phenomenon in schools, which also include the participation of families. |

A ocorrência de bullying no contexto escolar prejudica a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento saudável dos estudantes. Objetivo: Analisar a compreensão dos educadores sobre o bullying no ambiente escolar. Método: Estudo transversal e qualitativo realizado com 16 educadores (diretores, vice-diretores, coordenadores pedagógicos e professores) de duas escolas públicas de uma cidade do interior do estado de Minas Gerais. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas que seguiram um roteiro produzido a partir de indicações da literatura especializada. O conteúdo das entrevistas foi gravado e transcrito na íntegra. A interpretação dos dados seguiu os pressupostos da análise de conteúdo, em sua modalidade temática, considerando-se as seguintes etapas: pré-análise, exploração do material, tratamento dos resultados e interpretação. Resultados: Foram identificadas três categorias temáticas: 1) A centralidade das famílias nos problemas das escolas na concepção dos educadores; 2) Crenças que estabelecem nexos explicativos para o bullying; e 3) Ações de intervenção desenvolvidas em relação ao bullying. Os resultados apontam que as crenças dos educadores responsabilizam exclusivamente as famílias pelos problemas das escolas e pelo bullying. Essas concepções decorrem de situações vivenciadas no cotidiano ou de discursos de outros profissionais da educação que reiteram a ausência das famílias e o pouco envolvimento parental nas questões da educação formal dos filhos como o grande problema. Narrativas dessa natureza denotam a ausência de uma compreensão ampliada sobre o bullying e sua complexidade. Além da família, os educadores apontaram as influências da personalidade, da mídia e dos padrões sociais como fatores que podem explicar o envolvimento dos estudantes em situações de bullying. Para os participantes as respostas mais efetivas para minimizar ou responder adequadamente ao bullying escolar necessitam da participação da família e alguns não acreditavam que a escola pudesse, sozinha, fazer algo de efetivo. No conjunto dos dados, percebeu-se que as crenças e compreensões dos educadores sobre a problemática do bullying impedem que que medidas direcionadas aos aspectos escolares, que constituem causas mais proximais à ocorrência de bullying, sejam efetivadas. Conclusão: Conclui-se que os educadores investigados necessitam ampliar a compreensão que apresentam sobre o bullying, de modo a desenvolverem ações eficazes de enfrentamento desse fenômeno nas escolas, que incluam igualmente a participação das famílias.Portuguese national funds through the FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology) within the framework of the CIEC (Research Center for Child Studies of the University of Minho) project under the reference UID/CED/00317/2019Universidade de São Paulo.
