Zigorra haur hezkuntzako gradutik behatuazetorkizuneko erronkak

Resumen

This work has two main objectives. On the one hand, to make an analysis of the use of punishmentin Basque schools, specifically in the infant or preschool stage. On the other hand, to know how the studentsof the early childhood education face this issue thinking about their future professional practice.For this, we collaborated with 101 students of the degree of Early Childhood Education proposing themto be co-participants of this research (Students as partners). The results revealed that students in theirpractices observed different types of punishment and threats, describing them as very common techniquesin schools, especially the “thinking corner”. Likewise, it was observed that the applied punishmentsdid not follow a common methodological pattern, reflecting the lack of basis in the field of thepsychology of education of those who applied them. Finally, they feel that they need additional trainingin alternatives for the resolution of conflicts in the classroom. The educational implications of the resultsare discussed.
