Representações sociais de professores sobre indisciplina no ensino médio e técnico

O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar as representações sociais de professores sobre indisciplina em sala de aula. Adotamos a teoria das Representações Sociais como referencial teórico. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas. Os participantes foram três professores do ensino técnico, três do ensino médio e três de ambos os ensinos, totalizando nove docentes de uma Escola Técnica Estadual (ETEC) do interior paulista, pertencente ao Centro Estadual de Educação Tecnológica Paula Souza. Utilizando a análise de conteúdo, definimos três eixos temáticos: causas atribuídas à indisciplina, alternativas para lidar com a questão e concepção de indisciplina, para os quais caracterizamos categorias, em que obtivemos a frequência de respostas. Na análise dos resultados, podemos indicar que a representação social da indisciplina parece estar objetivada, principalmente, nas questões individuais dos alunos. Os professores relataram diferentes causas da indisciplina para os ensinos médio e técnico. Foram indicadas algumas diferenças na maneira de lidar com o aluno adolescente e adulto e entre as causas e as alternativas para lidar com a indisciplina. As representações sociais dos professores sobre a indisciplina ancoraram-se, em sua maioria, num referencial tradicional, associado à responsabilização do aluno e da família.
