The main purpose of this
study was to conduct an investigation on the level (extent) of violence against
children in school, on types of violence and on the relationship between
violence and demographic characteristics of children (gender, residence and
age). This study focused on a sample group of 618 children, respectively
students of grades 10 to 12 of higher secondary schools in Prishtina, Kosovo.
With this sample group a structured questionnaire applied, which was composed
of four (4) questions for each of the following types of violence: violence
against the property of children and school property, psychological violence,
physical violence and sexual violence. Results of this study have shown that
approximately 87% of children have experienced, at least, once one type of
violence throughout their education. Among these types of violence, violence
against the property of children and against school property has been reported
the most (73.6%), which is followed by psychological violence (69.3%), then
physical violence (47.5%) and sexual violence (22.1%). Data have shown that in
the level of reliability α = 0.5, gender as a demographic factor has appeared
to be more influential in the prevalence of some types of violence (violence
against property, psychological violence and physical violence), residence has
appeared to be influential when speaking about physical violence only, while
age has been shown to be an influential factor in the prevalence of violence
against children in school.
