The Violent Student and His Social Exclusion within the School Environment

Abstract

This study aims to shed light on the violent student and the extent of his social exclusion by the surrounding school environment, due to his violent behaviors that constitute an obstacle in his interaction with the school group as a whole, whether they are administrators, the school principal, classmates, or teachers themselves. Hence, forms of social exclusion appear in the school environment and are largely practiced against this category of violent students. This will be clarified in this study, which was conducted in an educational institution, namely Mohammed El-Zein Ben El-Madani Middle School in Alia El-Charkia, Biskra Province – Algeria – on a sample of violent students whose number reached 45 violent students within this institution suffering from school social exclusion. A structured interview was conducted with these students, and based on the descriptive method and statistical processing techniques, including the use of the coefficient of concordance to control the accuracy of the obtained results, in answering the problem raised: What are the most prominent manifestations of social exclusion practiced against the violent student within the school environment?
