Políticas públicas de convivencia escolar en América Latina: Una revisión sistemática desde las directrices PRISMA

Abstract

School is a space where students learn to coexist with others. However, school violence is a common problem in educational institutions, manifested in behaviors such as abuse, bullying, mistreatment, and humiliation. Governments have implemented public policies to mitigate this problem, but it is necessary to evaluate their purpose and relevance.This systematic review aims to identify and understand the main approaches and characteristics of public policies on school coexistence in Latin America. A search was conducted in eight databases and two search engines using a systematic review methodology based on the PRISMA 2020 statement guidelines. The results showed three main approaches to the development of these policies: punitive, formative, and managerialist, each linked to a psychological perspective. The reviewed studies showed positive impacts on the perception of school coexistence, but further research is needed, as there are few studies and they are limited in scope. The literature review was conducted with publications between 2017 and 2023.
