Autor: Bryan Marcelo Tenemaza Calle (Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional La Salle)
Resumen
En esta investigación se explorarán a fondo las múltiples consecuencias que trae consigo el bullying a los estudiantes con discapacidad en Ecuador, desde un punto de vista psicológico hasta las posibles repercusiones que se puedan dar a largo plazo en la salud mental y emocional de las víctimas. Se realizará un análisis minucioso, en donde se buscará dar a luz las estrategias de prevención e intervención de los establecimientos educativos en caso de presentarse un problema de bullying, contribuyendo así al desarrollo de un enfoque integral para abordar y poder superar este desafío social que empezó muchos años atrás.
Aunque se vive en una época moderna, este problema sigue presente en la sociedad actual, por lo que se explorarán las causas subyacentes, las formas en que puede presentarse y las consecuencias leves o graves que puede traer consigo este tipo de problemas, así como las medidas cruciales para abordar este tema.
Además, se buscarán y se darán alternativas viables a los establecimientos educativos para evitar un mal, no solo a los estudiantes con discapacidad que lo padecen, sino también a la sociedad, porque un problema no es de una sola persona, sino de todos quienes están a su alrededor.
Palabras clave: bullying, comportamiento, acoso, salud mental, discapacidad.
Abstract
This research explores in depth the multiple consequences that bullying has on students with disabilities in Ecuador, from a psychological perspective to the potential long-term effects on the victims’ mental and emotional health. A thorough analysis will be conducted to shed light on the prevention and intervention strategies implemented by educational institutions when bullying arises, thereby contributing to the development of a comprehensive approach to address and overcome this longstanding social challenge.
Even in modern times, this issue persists in today’s society. Therefore, this study will explore the underlying causes, the various forms it can take, and the mild or severe consequences it can bring, as well as the crucial measures needed to address it.
In addition, viable alternatives will be sought and proposed for educational institutions in order to prevent harm, not only to the students with disabilities who suffer from it, but also to society as a whole—because this is not a problem that affects a single person, but everyone around them.
Keywords: bullying, behavior, harassment, mental health, disability.
