Roca Pacheco, Ruth Marina | 2018-12-12

This research work identifies and describes the problems that affect the student population of the Primary Basic cycle at the Educational Institution of the Sagrada Familia on the island of San Andrés, where there are situations of verbal, physical and psychological aggression, which negatively impacts the school climate, the processes of coexistence and the academic performance of the students. The study is framed within the interpretive paradigm, the type of descriptive-explanatory research, the mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach and the inductive method. The population is made up of 330 students in grades 4 and 5 of the Basic Education level, and 48 students are selected as representative sample, 24 4th grade (6 students per course) and 24 5th grade (6 students per course), of an age between 8 and 13 years. As information gathering techniques, structured questionnaire questionnaires were designed with closed questions and applied to students, 10 teachers who work in the Primary Basic cycle and 8 parents of students of 4th and 5th grade who volunteered and freely collaborate as informants. The analysis and interpretation of the information made it possible to diagnose the school climate and coexistence processes, which served as a starting point for the design and formulation of a pedagogical intervention proposal as an innovation for the use of new technologies of the information and communication to implement activities with a transversal focus, oriented in the classroom by the teachers of all the areas of the Study Plan. The interest of the students, their active participation, the assimilation of thematic contents and, above all, the change of attitude to work for the improvement of the school climate, of the convivenciales processes and, therefore, in the improvement of the academic performance were evidenced.
