MARTINEZ DIAZ, Esther Susana  and  DIAZ GOMEZ, Darwin Andrés. A psychosocial approximaton to school stress . educ.educ. [online]. 2007, vol.10, n.2, pp.11-22. ISSN 0123-1294.

This paper presents stress as a real phenomenon in school life and is the result of a reflective analysis based on six studies carried out at the levels of basic, middle and higher education carried out by the Faculty of Psychology at La Sabana University. The results of the studies, as well as the casuistics related to the stress suffered by students at all levels of education, provide evidence of the existence of stress generating factors which are related to loss of a parent, disease of a sibling or a relative, excess homework, low academic performance, disturbing pressure, sitting exams, among others.

Keywords : educational psychology; school stress; psycho-educational factors; La Sabana University.
