La relación del bullying y el rendimiento académico en los estudiantes del octavo grado de Educación General Básica: un estudio de caso en un Colegio Particular del Valle de los Chillos.

Abstract

This paper refers to the relationship between bullying and the academic performance of eighth grade general education students in a school located southeast of Quito, in Valle de los Chillos. Through the observation made during the pre-professional practices, it was possible to identify a series of conflicts between students and, from that, to consider the existence of bullying within the classroom. In addition, it allowed to consider the relationship between this phenomenon and academic performance. The methodology used was focused on observation linked to the field work whose information was collected in field journals, which allowed the description of the behavior and attitudes of students at this level, and which were related to bullying. This paper is structured by a theoretical basis related to the conceptualization of bullying and how it is lived in schools but with an emphasis on academic performance. Finally, the results are presented that allow us to identify bullying in the classroom and whether it is related to the academic performance of the victim.
