El Constructo Acoso Moral en la Relación Alumno-Profesor en la Perspectiva de Profesores Universitarios.
Abstract
The general purpose of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the construct mobbing in professor-student relationship. This concept, of general nature, leads to the question of how this construct is understood by university professors who experience it in their working practices. In order to answer the question, 42 interviews were conducted with university professors. The collected data were tabulated and organized through the methodology of the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD). The results indicate six Collective Subject Discourses, whose key ideas are: embarrassment to the teacher, pressure to obtain benefits, disrespectfulness, recurring defamatory behavior, obstacles to the purpose of teaching and threat to moral and physical integrity. The deepening of the understanding of mobbing in the student-professor relationship is important because it contributes to an increased awareness and reflection on destructive behaviors that are no longer acceptable in the evolutionary stage of modern society and that, above all, still occur in a social group where the purpose is to educate socially responsible citizens and of morally integrity.
