This study aims to analyze teachers’ and Physical Education teachers’ conceptions and perceptions of violence, in Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research, in which we conducted semi-structured interview as data collection instrument. The analysis was performed using content analysis. Three categories were identified: 1) school as a space that reproduces violence; 2) teachers and a daily violence context; and 3) violence and teachers’ devaluation. Results point to common and specific factors related to perception of violence by teachers and Physical Education teachers, the latter linked to content specificity, spaces and evaluation in Physical Education classes. They are related to classes’ spaces; pedagogical intentionality or its absence; and the course’s credibility and evaluation.
