Abstract

The objective of this study is to present an instrument to evaluate school violence in the post-pandemic context, providing institutions with reliable data that allow the development of programs that manage coexistence, preventing violence and creating a healthy school well-being environment. A Questionnaire to measure School Bullying and Cyberbullying (CACE-44) was developed, validated by experts and empirically tested in a sample of 564 secondary students in Mendoza. The approach was quantitative, descriptive and correlational, of a cross-sectional nature. The CACE-44 makes it possible to identify various types of violence, describe indicators of bullying and cyberbullying, and characterize the parties involved. This local instrument with national and international scope helps to effectively identify signs of school violence, contributing to sound educational policies and preventive actions, guaranteeing violence-free education and promoting a healthy and equitable school environment for all young people.

Author Biography

Cristián David Expósito, Centro de Investigaciones Cuyo – CIC. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo; Argentina

My professional trajectory as a CONICET researcher is focused on the field of educational research on emerging values ​​in secondary school teachers and students. Due to the crisis experienced in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I had to address some issues related to institutional management and teaching performance. All activities are carried out from the Centro de Investigaciones Cuyo - CONICET. Regarding my academic background, I earned my doctorate with honors in Education from the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, specializing in the field of axiology and comprehensive education for teacher training. I am also a teacher at the undergraduate and graduate levels in areas related to educational management and research methodology. In terms of institutional management activities, I have served as a jurisdictional reference for national training programs for secondary school teachers (INFoD). Additionally, I have participated in numerous research projects for the Dirección General de Escuelas, the Subdirección de Estadísticas e Investigaciones Educativas, CONICET, and UNCuyo. The research line developed can be followed through publications in scientific journals. Based on this work experience, I decided to delve into specific axiological issues related to coexistence in schools and their sociocultural impact on secondary academic formation. Currently, I am validating the first psychometric test designed in Argentina to measure Bullying and Cyberbullying in schools in order to analyze coexistence management models in provincial schools. My research aims to generate knowledge about the relationship between school coexistence management models and the emerging value structures of secondary students in order to promote the construction of democratic socio-cultural habits that mitigate situations of school bullying and cyberbullying.
