Circulo restaurativo en adolescentes de 12 a 14 años que sufren bullying en el Colegio Particular “San Benildo la Salle” durante el periodo de octubre del 2023 a marzo del 2024

Abstract

The present research work describes the systematization of the experience of the intervention carried out at the San Benildo La Salle private school. During the intervention period, the restorative circle was implemented for students aged between 12 and 14 years who are victims of bullying, identified with the assistance of the psychologist, resulting in a total of 17 students. The adopted methodology was characterized as qualitative and bibliographic, incorporating techniques such as interviews and observation in project execution. Additionally, an exhaustive database search was conducted to gather information related to bullying and the restorative circle. It is essential to emphasize that this information was analyzed from a psychological perspective. The intervention yielded positive outcomes for a group of bullying victims who were able to strengthen their self-esteem and confidence through participation in the restorative circle. These results led to the conclusion that it is imperative to continue both restorative circle sessions and informative talks to reduce bullying cases and enhance the mental and physical well-being of students, thereby improving their overall quality of life. Furthermore, it is recommended that these sessions be continuous and periodic, subject to constant evaluation to tailor their purpose to the students' needs. Inclusion of parents in the restorative circle is also advised to improve parent-child relationships.
