WHAT IS THE TEACHER'S PROFILE IN SUCCESSFULLY PREVENTING BULLYING? A PICTURE OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES

Summary/Abstract: The increasing frequency of bullying incidents is an imperative that is on the focus of the education policy makers in Romania. During the last four years, the education legislation has undergone a number of substantial changes and updates placing a strong emphasis on bullying prevention. While we have the legislative framework that defines the role of teachers in preventing and intervening in bullying incidents, it is significant to know what professional skills are needed in doing so. The aim of this research is to provide a profile of the effective teacher in bullying prevention from the standpoint of professional competences. We believe this to be important for the development of effective prevention policies. The objectives of this study are theoretical, namely: to analyze the normative framework referring to the teacher's role in bullying prevention; to examine the national legislation in the field of preventing and combating bullying; to review the literature in order to identify the professional competences involved in successfully preventing bullying.
