Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this research is to understand and describe the experiences, emotions, and thoughts of students attending primary schools implementing integrated classroom practices and those who have transferred to independent classroom practices, regarding exposure to peer bullying. Conducted as a qualitative research using a scanning approach, this study is based on the views of teachers working in Ankara during the 2023-2024 academic year. The maximum diversity sampling method was employed to select teachers with different profiles. The interview method was chosen to allow teachers to share their experiences and observations related to peer bullying. The data obtained from 12 teachers were analyzed using the qualitative research technique of "content analysis." According to the findings of the research, teachers expressed that physical violence among students is most prevalent in schools implementing integrated classroom practices, and occasionally, peer bullying is attributed to family influences. The aim is to thoroughly examine and evaluate these factors affecting students' emotional and social development.
