İLKÖĞRETİM OKULLARINDA GÖREV YAPAN ÖĞRETMENLER VE ÖĞRENİM GÖREN ÖĞRENCİLERİN ZORBALIĞA YÖNELİK GÖRÜSLERİ

Abstract

Saldırganlık grubunda yer alan çok ciddi ve yaygın bir sosyal problem olan zorbalık, kişi veya kişilerin diğer bir kişiyi incitmek/zarar vermek amacıyla tekrarlı saldırgan davranışlarda bulunması olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, zorbalığın yaygınlığını, öğretmen ve öğrenci ifadelerine göre saptamak ve karşılaştırmaktır. Araştırmaya Bursa’da iki ilköğretim okulunun 4.5.6.7 ve 8.sınıflarında öğrenim gören 545 (296’sı kız; 249’u erkek) öğrenci ve bu okullarda görev yapan 87 öğretmen katılmıştır. Çalışmada Colorado Okul İklimi Surveyi (Garrity et al., 1996)’nin Türkçeleştirilmiş formu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, öğretmenlerin bildirdiği sıklık oranlarının öğrencilerin bildirdiklerinden anlamlı biçimde yüksek (p < .05) olduğunu göstermektedir. Öğrenciler en yüksek oranda sözel zorbalığa uğradığını bildirirken; öğretmenler ise bunu fiziksel zorbalık olarak rapor etmektedir. Öğrenciler zorbalığın en yüksek oranda bahçede; öğretmenler ise bahçe ve koridorda yapıldığını bildirmekte; zorbalığa uğrayan öğrenciler zorbalığa uğradığını en yüksek oranda (% 40,9) “bir arkadaşına anlatma” seçeneği ile ifade ederken; öğretmenler ise öğrencilerin zorbalığa uğradığını daha çok (%62,1) okuldaki bir yetişkine anlattığını rapor etmektedir.

Bullying is a kind of aggressive behavior and it is a serious and widespread social problem. The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of bullying according to the reports of teachers and the students and to compare these. 545 students from four to eight grades of two elementary schools in Bursa at lower SES and 87 teachers were participated in this descriptive study.

The most frequent bullying type is verbal bullying according to the students, but it was physical bullying according to the teachers.
