This
study aimed to investigate the causes of violence of students from the teachers
and principals’ perspective. This study uses a survey method and the sample was
consisted of 191 subjects, including 141 teachers and 50 principals
respectively, who were selected by simple random and stratified sampling. In
order to collect data, a questionnaire consisting of 40 items, with five-point
Likert scale was used. Statistical analysis of the data was done through
calculating frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, one-sample t-test, and independent-sample t-test, using SPSS version 20.
The results showed that all external factors such as family, media, personal
characteristics, society, and victimization play an important role in the
incidence of violence in students. The role of family and victimization of
students in the incidence of this phenomenon is more than any other factors.
Internal factors such as the characteristics of teachers, school management and
school structure have an influential role in the incidence of violence of
students as well. The principal is more effective than other factors in this
phenomenon. The results also showed that internal factors of school are more
effective than outside factors of the school in the incidence of violence.
However, school principals consider external factors to be more effective in
the incidence of violence compared with teachers. In this regard, principals
consider the following items to be more effective in the incidence of violence:
families, victimization, society, personal characteristics, and media,
respectively. While teachers, consider the following items to be more effective
in the incidence of violence: victimization, family, personal characteristics,
society, and media. The findings also showed that women compared to men,
considered external factors to have more effect in the violence, while men
believed that internal factors are more effective in the incidence of violence
in students. It seems that to prevent and control the violence phenomenon, the
spread and revival of the social work services at the society level and within
schools is necessary and vital.
