摘要：Abstract – This paper presents some of the results of the study ‘Coexistence and
Confrontation among Peers in Secondary Schools in Catalonia’ commissioned by
the Ombudsman’s Office of the Catalan government and carried out at the
Institute of Childhood and the Urban World (CIIMU) in Barcelona, Spain, in
2005-2006. It offers a description of the indicators of malaise and exclusion
among students at nine public and private secondary schools serving varying
social environments in Catalonia. Qualitative and quantitative techniques were
applied, based on focus groups and in-depth interviews with students, teachers,
parents associations and school management, and a questionnaire for students in
Year 1 and Year 4 of secondary school (ages 12 and 16). Though the results
obtained also reveal a certain amount of verbal, social and physical bullying in
these schools, this study’s main interest was the factors consitituting each school’s
climate as it affected student peer-to-peer relationships. Such factors included the
type of ‘model’ student promoted by the school; the values governing social
popularity and stigmatisation among the students; the sorts of academic
expectations placed on students by the school; the perception of teaching methods
and practices among students; the social relationship between teachers and
students as perceived by the latter; the different models of governance through
rules and the level of internal coherence in applying sanctions; the strategies used
by the school to create groups; and the degree of recognition by the institution of
the diversity of students’ origins.
