Abstract

Given the high prevalence of school violence, developing actions aimed at preventing it and creating school contexts that promote prosocial behavior from early childhood on is relevant. In this way, it becomes important to previously carry out needs assessment studies. This study aimed at evaluating needs related to prosocial behavior promotion in preschool education. A cross-sectional, mixed-method evaluation study was carried out. A sample of 4 teachers and 67 children (between 4 and 5 years old, 34 girls and 33 boys) from a public preschool participated. Observation procedures, application of an educational social skills inventory and interviews were carried out. Data obtained underwent specific treatment and descriptive or thematic analyses were performed. Results indicated resources, which included the existence of practices that potentially promote prosocial behaviors in teachers’ repertoire and the aforementioned behaviors in children’s repertoires; they also indicated difficulties, which involved gaps in teacher training, a repertoire of educational social skills to be improved and a perception of violence expressed at school as resulting only from events external to the institution. Findings suggest investments in three dimensions, namely research, teaching and advocacy.
