Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The aim of this study is to determine whether the pandemic situation aggravated or not school bullying situations. The methodology used was a case study, of exploratory and descriptive nature, where the quantitative and qualitative paradigms were combined. The study involved 370 students in the 2nd cycle of basic education (5th and 6th years) of the school year 2020/2021, from two school clusters (Agrupamento de Escolas) in the municipality of Braganca, in the north-east of Portugal. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire or survey built on Google Forms and made available online in the second half of May 2021. After collecting and analysing the results, it was found that, during the pandemic, bullying situations decreased, although cyberbullying increased slightly, there was a decrease in the number of victims and a corresponding decrease in the number of witnesses who changed their behavior in the face of this scourge. The results obtained in this study will serve, after the relief of many of the restrictive measures, as a lever to encourage the educational institutions involved in this study to look at this problem as a situation that requires taking measures for its minimisation, in addition to complementing other studies in the Portuguese context or even in the Iberian Peninsula.
