The reality of the phenomenon of violence in Algerian schools: A field study on the causes and proposed mechanisms for confrontation

Abstract

This study aims to diagnose the reality of school violence in Algerian educational institutions by monitoring its various patterns, analyzing the factors that lead to its escalation, and proposing practical solutions to limit its spread. This is particularly important as the educational system in Algeria faces increasing challenges, highlighting one of the most dangerous phenomena that significantly impacts Algerian society. To achieve the study's objectives, the researchers conducted a field study investigating the opinions and perceptions of secondary education teachers, who formed the study sample. A questionnaire was distributed to 35 teachers, resulting in findings that demonstrate the severity of the phenomenon. The study suggests intensifying the role of educational counselors and psychological and social specialists to enhance student protection within the school environment, as well as the necessity of activating cooperation between educational institutions and the external environment to safeguard the school environment from the risks of violence and its repercussions.
