Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This monograph seeks to deepen exploration of the broad world of adolescents in school from a psychological point of view. School coexistence implies a complex network of socio-emotional relationships between a large number of people with different characteristics (different ages, abilities, cultures...) defined by the fundamental roles of students and teachers. The growing complexity of our social reality is rapidly including new challenges in the lives of each other, and all this challenges influence, in turn, coexistence in a temporary space in which they have to stay together for several hours every date. Thus, for example, the incorporation of new technologies into the academic field has meant a considerable change compared to relatively few years ago with the consequent adaptation of schools for their proper use as a resource in the classroom, constituting nowadays an indispensable and essential tool for teaches to optimize learning through motivating and innovative teaching strategies. However, the use of new technologies at school also implies in some cases a misuse eventually leading to cyberbullying situations, or even addictions to new technologies or social networks.
In fact, bullying among peers is a growing challenge in schools that, far from being stopped, is a constant in the academic context towards with extremely negative consequences in some situations. In addition to these challenges, there are many children and adolescents who come to school with a backpack that is particularly unstable due to their experiences in other contexts of socialization such as the family, or those who present special educational needs which must address with new inclusive techniques. All these particularities are part of the day-to-day life in schools and directly influence the dynamics of relationships in the classroom, the motivation of students, their attitudes and behaviors, eventually affecting not only academic performance but also the psychological and emotional adjustment of all students involved. In this monograph we include these new challenges that can be addressed from a psychological approach and that can be addressed from the field of the educational guidance, and the developmental, social, clinical or educational psychology.
