Bullying in Elementary Schools

These include verbal, physical, relational, as well as cyberbullying. In school, bullying starts from early childhood and progresses through primary school, high school and also college or university. Bullying is caused by different factors which arise from the environment. Bullying has a negative impact on the life of learners which include decreasing academic performance, as well as causing mental health issues and physical problems (Adcock and White, 2000). What hypothesis was the researcher trying to answer or investigate? The researcher in this article tries to investigate the following hypothesis. That is government and private school for boys, as well as government and private school for girls (Adcock and White, 2000). In the first stage, eight elementary schools were randomly picked from a list of both private, as well as government secondary schools in Mianwali district.

In the second stage, all learners, that is a complete school cluster, together with only 8th-grade learners were used as a sample for the survey purpose. How did the researcher collect data in the study? The questionnaires were used to gather data with the aid of four research associates, as well as individual visits of the researchers. The four research associates were taught and trained on how to conduct the questionnaire and gather the filled tool (Barron, 2002). The initial origin of bullying was power fullness. The outcome shows that the M. C of male learners in all category was greater compared to that of female learners apart from category number two which reveals a variation in perception of male, as well as female learners concerning the origin of aggressive experienced in school.

Thus, the null hypothesis was rebuffed that reveal a variation in the opinion of male, as well as female learners. Another cause of aggressive behaviour was ‘Vengeance seeking’ the variation between M. 01 for maximum average values of 2. 15 for male learners` reaction than female learners (1. therefore, the outcomes in the dismissal of hypothesis shows that there exists a variation in the opinion of male as compared to female learners concerning jealousy as the origin of aggressive behaviour. The four items, Vengeance seeking, Jealousy, Power fullness, as well as Aggression are significant factors that play a significant role in helping one understand about the world in terms of bullying. A lesson about Bullying and Liberation Teaching in the Study Gender contributes significantly to the bullying behaviours in schools (Berger, 2007).

Individuals who fail to acknowledge and prevent bullying behaviours promote and facilitate violence (Berger, 2007). In addition, bullying always causes greater, as well as prolonged violence. Furthermore, it negatively influences the surrounding of the school setting and the opportunities for all learners to learn, as well as achieve academic excellence. What question was the researcher trying to answer or investigate? The researcher in this study was investigating the following questions; • Does bullying exist in the preschool-age group? • What was presently being done to about bullying? The Variables Studied The variables studied in this research study include age, gender, and home life or parenting (Berger, 2007). Describe the sample The sample for the study composed of seven preschool instructors. Teachers who were willing and expressed interest to participate in the interview were welcomed and the interview was planned.

Two preschools expressed interest and had instructors who were willing and ready to engage in focus groups. Three teachers from the two-focus group turned up to be interviewed. How did the researcher collect data in the study? Qualitative interviews, as well as focus groups, were carried out to collect data (Berger, 2007). Hence, a qualitative study technique was selected because the research study was exploratory in nature. One of the major reasons that were brought up by the majority of teachers includes gaining status. Looking down upon others or excluding other peers brought popularity to the perpetrators of bullying. Therefore, this attracts more peers to be the side of the bully (Berger, 2007). Another reason that contributed to bullying is the deficiency of social tools by children.

This includes communication, as well as conflict resolution. Teachers believe that the amount of bullying occurring in preschool is consistent between male and female gender. Both male and female gender can become perpetrators of bullying. Therefore, bullying behaviour is even on both genders. Girls utilize relational bullying, as well as are more exclusive. In addition, boys tend to show more aggression when bullied than girls. In the classroom, teachers need to be proactive to recognize signs of bullying and address it to prevent future incidences of bullying in their class (Jan and Husain, 2015). Also, teachers need to identify victims of bullying and offer guidance and counselling to them. In school level, policies involving bullying need to be facilitated and promoted with consistency in school.
