Abstract: During the latest decades, schools have witnessed many phenomena, some of which are regarded as intruders to the field of education. One of these strange behaviours is that of school violence, which should be, by principle, distanced and abstracted from the educational environment. This contradictious fact is the subject of this investigation as it has unfolded very quickly and then, leading to the creation of a taxonomy. This research is deep-rooted to the behaviourist theory. It rather deals with the inside and outside school variables that govern the occurrence of this unusual comportment. This attempt investigates “the context” of violent actions in the Algerian secondary schools. The aim of the study is to examine the issue of school violence among students. A mixed method is used to gather data. As a sample of this research, we opted for 24 teachers (13males and 11females) and 20 pupils (7males and 13 females) from three secondary schools within the district of Ain Merane in chlef. The results showed that the issue of school violence affects negatively the learning atmosphere, and it has several causes and consequences. This exploratory analysis concerns providing recommendation at least to reduce the occurrence of school violence that is causing the education process to be a truncated perspective. Keywords: Attitudes; Context; Educational environment; Impact; School violence.
