Violences domestiques et trajectoires scolaires des enfants du primaire issus des milieux populaires ivoirien : un regard psychosociologique

Abstract

The objective of the study is to understand the effects of domestic violence on the development and school action of primary school children in working-class areas, particularly in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. A sample of 320 primary school children (CM2) was  determined. The data collected by questionnaire classified into two axes, namely the axis of the personal characteristics of the  respondents and the axis of the items describing the acts of domestic violence experienced by the students, were subjected to an inferential statistical treatment. The results show that regardless of the type of domestic violence, students who have been victims have a poor academic trajectory. Similarly, there is a significant difference between children who have been victims of domestic violence and those who have not been victims regarding their school trajectories. However, there is no relationship between school
trajectories and domestic violence experienced by girls and boys. Thus, the educational trajectory of children who have suffered domestic violence is not linked to sex.
