Processes of improvement in the field of coexistence in the primary schools in Catalonia and the main difficulties implementation

Abstract

Coexistence in the classroom is of great interest to the educational community. Many resources have been allocated to studying it in general and in relation to the implementation of prevention programs and conflict resolution.

This article presents the results of an investigation carried out in primary schools in Catalonia. It analyzes improvement initiatives and the difficulties of bringing them into practice.

Based on discussion groups, an online questionnaire and in-depth interviews, the article reveals that schools perform various actions to improve in many different areas related to the curriculum, professionals, the community, the organization and discipline. But it also found clear limitations regarding teacher training, how teachers are organized and their personalities, all of which are aspects that must be controlled to ensure the success of the proposed improvements.
