PEER VIOLENCE IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS: FREQUENCY AND TYPES OF VIOLENT BEHAVIOR

Summary/Abstract: In the last few years, one has increasingly recognized the need for systemic research into the phenomenon of peer violence and its various manifestations related to the frequency and types of violence. This research aimed to examine the frequency of certain forms of peer violence in primary schools. The attitudes of teachers and students overlap when it comes to sending simple pictures on the Internet, intentionally destroying personal belongings, ignoring, following and stalking, threatening looks, blackmail, telling lies, exclusion from society, sending simple words SMS- om and via the Internet, threats, hair pulling and fights. The findings showed that boys are more often perpetrators of peer violence in both measurements. It is interesting to note the results of the research, which indicate that the classroom is ranked first as a place of violence by students, while teachers rank the schoolyard. The research results among students indicated the majority representation of the same reaction in a violent situation, and most students would retaliate similarly. According to teachers, the causes of violence are primarily neglect and upbringing by the family, then insufficient cooperation between parents and teachers, while the reactions related to the level of awareness are related to the sphere of non-violent communication. Following the obtained results, one can conclude that violence among children in schools is present in different forms. For this reason, there is a need for systemic work to solve this problem, which includes early identification and prevention of forms of violence among peers and work with parents and teaching staff who, through their actions, transfer patterns of behavior to students.
