Resumo: A violência entre pares tem assumido destaque na literatura educacional em função de sua frequência de ocorrência e dos efeitos deletérios sobre os envolvidos. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi explorar a ocorrência de bullying em dois contextos escolares -público e privado -, comparando-as em termos de frequência e padrões de ocorrência do fenômeno. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 76 alunos do 6º ao 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, com idade variando entre 10 e 15 anos, sendo 54% da amostra do sexo feminino. Os participantes responderam anonimamente a um questionário que visava obter informações referentes à ocorrência de agressões entre pares na escola, bem como identificar o envolvimento dos respondentes nessas situações. Os resultados indicaram que 24% dos participantes consideram-se vítimas de agressões repetidas, o que poderiam configurar episódios de bullying. Foi observada maior frequência de agressores do sexo masculino na escola pública, enquanto na particular não houve diferenças significativas quanto ao sexo dos agressores. Em ambas as escolas encontrou-se elevada incidência de agressões, tanto nos recreios quanto em sala de aula, sendo a atitude passiva predominante entre os observadores. Discute-se a necessidade de as escolas investirem em estratégias visando a prevenção e o enfrentamento do problema. Palavras-chave:Bullying, Violência Escolar, Ensino Fundamental. Manifestations of Bullying in Different School Contexts: an Exploratory StudyAbstract: Peers' violence has been a prominent theme in the educational literature due to its frequency and deleterious effects on those involved. The general objective of this research was to explore the occurrence of bullying in two school contexts -public and private -comparing them in terms of frequency and patterns of occurrence of the phenomenon. The subjects were 76 students from 6 th to 9 th degree of elementary school, aged between 10 and 15 years old, 54% of the sample being female. The participants answered anonymously a survey for obtaining information regarding the occurrence of aggressions at school, as well as for identifying the participants' involvement in these situations. Results indicated that 24% of the participants consider themselves victims of repeated aggressions that could configure bullying episodes. It was observed a higher frequency of male aggressors in the public school while in private school no significant differences were found between the aggressors' sexes. In both of schools a high incidence of aggressions at break time and in the classrooms was found, with the most of witnesses having a passive behavior. We discuss the need of schools' investment in strategies aiming to prevent and minimize the problem.
