<\/a>The different forms of educational violence<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Educational violence of a physical nature<\/strong>
    Hitting, slapping, spanking and snipping are all forms of physical educational violence, as is refusing to allow a short absence to pee. Or denying a meal or sleep. Or denying movement during learning hours, when movement stimulates the blood circulation needed for concentration. <\/li>\n
  • Educational violence of a verbal nature<\/strong>
    All words that diminish learners, even though the aim of education is to help them grow, develop and flourish: mockery, insinuations, insults, denigration linked to differences in gender, culture, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic type, various skills and disabilities.<\/li>\n
  • Educational violence of a psychological nature<\/strong>
    All forms of violence – verbal, non-verbal, allusive, written, visual, etc. – that are psychologically demeaning, causing shame and humiliation, thereby negatively affecting not only learning, but also the personal skills that learners need to develop – their self-confidence, self-esteem and self-image, all of which are fundamental to the learning process.<\/li>\n
  • Educational violence of a moral nature<\/strong>
    All forms of violence with an educational aim that publicly demean or even slander, particularly in front of other students.<\/li>\n
  • Discriminatory and\/or exclusionary educational violence<\/strong>
    All forms of violence that discriminate and\/or exclude one or more children or pupils in relation to others in educational acts: favoritism at home or in class, unequal treatment between brothers and sisters, towards slow learners, but also towards the hyper-talented, between well-behaved and restless pupils, etc. As a result, restless students often find themselves excluded from class, or even from school – to the detriment of their learning. <\/li>\n
  • Educational violence resulting from overcrowded classes<\/strong> (over 30-35)
    Above 25 pupils, it’s virtually impossible to give equal attention to every student. Yet in some countries, there are still classes approaching or exceeding 50-100 pupils. The bottom rungs of the class are systematically excluded<\/em> from contact with the teacher and from the opportunity to participate actively. This makes inclusive education virtually impossible to achieve: students at the bottom are denied access to education even though they are at school. The result is a very low level of literacy and numeracy on leaving elementary school, which is a form of violence whose consequences will affect these pupils for the rest of their lives.See inclusive education in overcrowded classrooms for possible solutions. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Motives used to justify educational violence<\/h2>\n

    Those who use educational violence tend to justify it for one or more of the following reasons:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • it’s the generalized norm<\/li>\n
    • it’s the norm they themselves experienced as children, and yet they’ve learned<\/li>\n
    • this is the only authority model they know – they have not been familiar with, sensitized to or trained inpositive authority<\/strong> models – those that pull the learner upwards and foster his\/her development so that he\/she learns the targeted knowledge and life skills with motivation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
