Resumen:
Sumario:The present work aims to identify the prevalence of violence from the student's perspective; gather evidence of factorial validity and precision of the violence questionnaire in public schools in Piauí, in Brazil; and compare the scores according to the participants' sex. This is a documentary type study, with a quantitative approach. The registration documents of the 21 GREs totaled 57.906. After the collection, it was possible to analyze the factorial structure of the items referring to the violence questionnaire, through a frequency analysis, followed by an exploratory factor analysis, a parallel analysis and reliability and t test for comparison in relation to sex. The results suggest an internal structure of the unifactorial questionnaire, with satisfactory psychometric indices, in addition to indicating that among the most frequent types of violence were verbal violence, followed by moral violence, material violence and social violence. As for the participants, males had the highest score in expressions of violence at school.
