We analyzed the mediating effect of teachers' perceived need to receive training in school violence prevention, as well as teachers' perceived magnitude of violence in their schools, on the negative association between the frequency of student maltreatment and teachers' perception of social coherence in their school. 397 elementary school teachers participated in this study. The mediating model theorized proved significant and improved the predictive power of the frequency of student maltreatment on teachers' social coherence in school. However, only teachers' perceptions of the need to receive teacher training on school violence had a mediating effect. Findings are discussed in terms of the need to strengthen and improve teacher training programs in school violence and school wellbeing, both for in-service ...

During the last decade, Chilean regulations have allowed a massive incorporation of these professionals—mostly school psychologists and social workers—in publicly funded schools. However, there is scarce evidence regarding the actions of these professionals, including whether and how they align with whole-school approaches. In this study, we constructed and validated scales to assess professional practices aligned with universal prevention and whole-school approaches deployed by nonteaching professionals in schools. Participants were 329 professionals from municipal, private subsidized, and private Chilean schools. Psychometric properties were analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for construct validation and with Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency. The results show that the instruments had adequate psychometric properties in terms of ...

En este estudio se analizó el efecto mediador de la necesidad de contar con capacitación en violencia escolar y de la magnitud de violencia escolar, en 397 profesores de escuelas básicas, sobre la asociación entre la frecuencia percibida de maltrato entre estudiantes y la coherencia social con que observan su contexto escolar. El modelo de mediación resultó significativo y mejoró el poder predictivo de la frecuencia de conductas de maltrato entre estudiantes sobre la coherencia social de la escuela. Sin embargo, es solo la percepción que los profesores tienen sobre su necesidad de capacitación en violencia escolar la variable que actúa como mediadora. Se discuten estos hallazgos en relación a la necesidad de fortalecer y mejorar los programas de capacitación y formación inicial y continua de los docentes.

capacitación en violencia escolar y de la magnitud de violencia escolar, en 397 profesores de escuelas básicas, sobre la asociación entre la frecuencia percibida de maltrato entre estudiantes y la coherencia social con que
observan su contexto escolar. El modelo de mediación resultó significativo y mejoró el poder predictivo de la frecuencia de conductas de maltrato entre estudiantes sobre la coherencia social de la escuela. Sin embargo,
es solo la percepción que los profesores tienen sobre su necesidad de capacitación en violencia escolar la variable que actúa como mediadora. Se discuten estos hallazgos en relación a la necesidad de fortalecer y mejorar los programas de capacitación y formación inicial y continua de los docentes.
