RODRIGUEZ-FIGUEROA, Héctor Manuel. School coexistence: Review of the concept from two case studies. Sinéctica [online]. 2021, n.57, e1272.  Epub Dec 13, 2021. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2021)0057-003.

This document it’s a review of the concept of school coexistence based on the results of two studies cases carried out in a couple of Higher Secondary Education schools in the city of Aguascalientes (México), one with high levels of school violence and the other with low. Mixed collection techniques were used for both studies: secondary data analysis, questionnaires, individual interviews, group interviews, documentary analysis and others such as social cartography, metaphorical analysis, observation and collaborative ethnographic photography. Here it’s argued that the concept of school coexistence has been treated inadequately in most of the literature on the subject, since they do not refer to interrelational practices within schools or of how people (especially the student body) relate to each other, but on how such practices are managed or should be managed. Here is a rethinking of the concept and a proposal of how to approach it from the sociocultural perspective is presented.

Keywords : school coexistence; school violence; higher secondary education.
