Mediaciones pedagógicas a través de la literatura y las artes para la prevención del acoso escolar. Estado del arte

This paper is based on an interest in learning about recent national and international studies on literature and the arts as pedagogical means to prevent bullying. State-of-the-art was developed through consultation and analysis of 55 studies published in institutional repositories and indexing databases between 2013 and 2023. The method used was the bibliographic review with an analysis under the hermeneutic approach that allowed the data to be interpreted around its generalities and specifications from two categories of analysis: investigative purposes and trends in the results. The findings show that, at a national and international level, literary genres and types of art are recognized as pedagogical resources that promote healthy coexistence behaviors, preventing aggression in the classroom. In Europe and Asia such as Spain and Indonesia, there is interest in analyzing of children’s and youth literature -LIJ- available for its moral content that can reduce different forms of social violence. For their part, in some Latin American countries, such as Ecuador and Peru, teaching techniques based on reading and writing are applied to reduce bullying in preschool and primary school; Meanwhile, in Colombia, action research designs are preferred to solve bullying behaviors in classrooms through literature and art temporar-ily. However, there are few resources and institutional mechanisms to deal with this phenomenon efficiently, which makes bullying a recurring practice.
