Resum
Currently, coexistence at schools seems to have been deteriorating and occasionally violent episodes occur. Mass media are increasingly reporting this kind of news that concerns all society. Major cases involving coexistence tend to stem from problems of indiscipline among students. Coexistence at schools is a complex phenomenon since several factors converge on it, many of them concerning relations between members of the educational community. Studies conducted up to the present time have provoked a broad debate about coexistence and, in addition, they have generated many terms. Sometimes these, instead of clarifying, have caused some confusion on the subject (e.g. words such as bullying, peer conflict, school violence, etc). This chapter focuses on a questionnaire for the evaluation, in the classroom, of coexistence in educational contexts of cultural diversity.
