MANAGING AND HANDLING INDISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS A RESEARCH PROJECT ISABEL FREIRE, UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA JOÃÆ'O AMADO, UNIVERSIDADE DE COIMBRA ABSTRACT The research project we present here in (entitled GERLINDES, in Portuguese) is set out with the assumption that there is a link among the representations and the actions within the members of the interstitial groups of schools, the practices in action and social and disciplinary environment at schools. This research project is focused on eight case studies held in schools of different grades, located in the centre of Portugal. Both qualitative (interviews and ethnographic observation) and quantitative methodologies (pupils’ questionnaires) have been used. KEYWORDS Indiscipline ; School ethos†¦show more content†¦Schools are â€Å"complex, formal organisations that, as such, include behaviours of diverse actors, organised and interconnected by a structure of authority and a network of relationships that allow partial and unfinished information, resources and products pass from one group to another (Bates and Murray, 1981, 58). According to these authors, school is structurally grouped in two kinds – the elementary groups and the interstitial groups. The former constitutes â€Å"basic structural elements† or â€Å"social units† (for example, the class, the group of teachers of a certain subject or field of knowledge, the administrative sector, etc.), while the latter, formed by the representatives of the elementary groups, are â€Å"connexion groups† which origin a network of links in the system’s structure (for example, the pedagogical council, the school and/or school group assembly, the class counc ils, the board of the parents’ association). It is inside these interstitial groups that the contact between the members of the isolated elementary groups is established. Research has not given much attention to the role of the interstitial groups, although the organisation of schools in the Portuguese educational system assigns them a strong leading role. The organisation of these groups, established in Portuguese schools, holds a potential of collective work to promoting a favourable school environment to students’ learningShow MoreRelatedClassroom Management And The Classroom1455 Words   |  6 Pagestreat each other.

Managing change is about handling the complexities of travel. It is about evaluating, planning and implementing operational, tactical and strategic ‘journeys’ – about always ensuring that the journey is worthwhile and the destination is relevant.
