SCHOOL COEXISTENCE THROUGH ACADEMIC MANAGEMENT BASED ON RESPONSIBILITY, AUTONOMY AND RESPECT

Abstract

For this particular research, Participatory Action Research (PAR) is proposed in the Fanny Mikey and Rafael Uribe Uribe District Educational Institutions in Bogotá. This design seeks to understand, analyze, comprehend and improve the contextual social reality posed in both institutions. This type of design involves conscious decision-making – jointly or collectively – where community members are "active subjects, participants and learners in the process" under methodological principles and norms that seek to transform adverse realities. Among the main findings is that, according to the interviewees, responsibility is defined as the fulfillment of commitments and norms, highlighting its ability to prevent problems and conflicts. Autonomy is considered essential to enable students to make informed decisions and encourage their independence and proactivity. As for respect, it is conceived as the recognition of the rights of others and the consideration of their beliefs, generating an environment of mutual understanding. The lack of these values is perceived as a threat to coexistence, as the lack of responsibility can lead to non-compliance and conflicts; Lack of autonomy can limit individual development, and disrespect can trigger intolerance and conflict. Taken together, the need to cultivate these values in order to create a harmonious school environment conducive to the holistic development of students is underlined.
