This book was released on 2013 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify student and teacher perceptions of the effectiveness of the Olweus Bullying Prevention program. The study included 90 students and 18 teachers and was conducted in three elementary schools in the same school district in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Teachers and students responded to Likert scale survey questions, open-ended questions, and provided input during interviews. Students reported that the program provided them with strategies, as victims and bystanders, to identify the types of bullying. With the strategies presented from the Olweus Bullying Prevention program, victim and bystander self-advocating and reporting skills improved. Qualitative data showed that physical bullying occurred less frequently than verbal and relational bullying. Teachers felt that classroom meetings helped reduce the frequency of bullying. Teachers also stated that sufficient materials were provided to support program implementation; however, sustainable professional development was still needed. This research could provide districts with supportive information when considering implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention program.

Download or read book Principal and Teacher Perceptions of the Effectiveness of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program written by Carolyn Spears Daugherty and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) and to provide an annotated bibliography of professional literature related to bullying for professional educators. The OBPP used a whole school approach and taught common vocabulary to define the word bullying. Bullying rose to front-page news in recent years and the events led to injuries, death, and even suicide. Long-term effects were severe and included self-esteem issues. The OBPP was one of the better-known programs; however, there were contradictory reports on its effectiveness. This mixed methods study gauged teacher and principal perceptions of the effectiveness of the OBPP. Principals and teachers were surveyed and follow-up interviews were conducted with the principals to better explain the survey results. This study affirmed that the OBPP was effective as measured by these teachers and principals. Based on this sample, results indicated that the OBPP was an effective tool to reduce bullying in the elementary school populations involved in this study. A recommendation stemming from the completion of this study was that the manner in which data on bullying is collected be streamlined. Further research may delve into the possibilities of consistent data collection nationwide to properly assess the bullying phenomena and navigate appropriate programs as solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A qualitative, case study was designed to determine the effectiveness of one public middle school's bullying prevention program, which was based on the Olweus model. The strength of the study was its descriptive quality. It encapsulated teacher perceptions of numerous areas of the bullying prevention program. The literature review revealed the characteristics of an effective bullying prevention program. The data analyses for this study were built around the 38 responses of the bullying prevention program survey, which assessed teacher perceptions of the initial training and implementation of the program in its third year. Ten participants were interviewed to gather more information. Teachers reported the middle school's bullying prevention program to be effective. Participants desired follow-through instruction on the facilitation of class meetings along with involvement of all stakeholders. Understandings derived from this research provided a more global view of the school's bullying prevention program. This, in turn, may be used to drive change, which should lead to a more positive and healthy school climate for all students so that learning may take place.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has become a significant problem for children of all national, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds and it is one of the most underreported antisocial behaviors. Its negative impact causes psychological, physical, and social maladies and other longlasting consequences for victims of bullying including suicide ideation. Recently, more emphasis has been placed upon the ill effects of school bullying prompting more empirical exploration in the U.S. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the recent efforts to identify means to reduce and mitigate bullying incidents in schools by exploring the implementation level and the perceptions of people who are responsible for the implementation of the bullying prevention program. This research examined the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) through the perspective of teachers located in a northeast Ohio county who received a grant to implement the program over a period of several years. The current investigation involved a mixed methods' survey research design. The survey instrument included selected responses, Likert-style questions, as well as open-ended questions of which many were developed using the general implementation requirements of the OBPP. Teacher perception data were collected regarding implementation level, sustainability, support from other stakeholders, strengths and weaknesses of the program, and whether or not they perceive it to reduce instances of bullying. Other moderators affecting perceptions were also researched. These moderators include time, training, gender of teacher, years of experience, age of teacher, size of building, and general topology. The responses from the survey administration were exported from Survey Monkey and imported into SPSS. The responses were analyzed for both reliability and validity. Data analysis provides descriptive analysis, tests of statistical assumptions, followed by multiple regression analysis. Results from both the selected-response items and open-ended responses were synthesized to address all research questions. Results from this research indicate that the respondents believe that the OBPP was delivered with fidelity with a perception of moderate decreases in bullying incidents in both classrooms and within the school setting. The majority of surveyed respondents believe that they feel supported or significantly supported by district administration, building principal, peer teachers, parents, and students in regards to bullying prevention efforts using the OBPP. The data reveled that male teachers reported slightly higher levels of feeling supported compared to female teachers. Teachers, ages 20-29 and 30-39 as well as teachers with the least amount of experience 0-5 and 6-10 years, reported the highest level of feeling supported in regards to bullying intervention. Teachers from urban districts felt most supported followed by the rural districts and then suburban districts. There was no difference in the level of support reported by teachers from public or parochial schools.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) was purchased by a southern school district to combat bullying and raise perceptions of school climate. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the effectiveness of the OBPP in combatting bullying in a school for the 2015-2016 school year. Bullying data were compiled and compared using the OBQ from 2012, 2013, and 2014 to create the Middle School Bullying Survey administered in the fall of 2015 (presurvey) and the spring of 2016 (postsurvey) to reassess school climate, prevalence of bullying, and effectiveness of the OBPP. For Research Question 1, using chi-square tests, results showed no statistically significant associations in perceptions of students regarding being bullied at school before and after the implementation of the bullying prevention program. For Research Question 2, using descriptive statistics, results showed that both sets of participants reported bullying incidents to their parent/guardian more often. For Research Question 3, using chi-square tests, results showed no statistically significant differences between perceptions of girls and boys before and after the implementation of the bullying prevention program. For Research Question 4, using descriptive statistics, results showed that bullying happened more often at the gym, in the hallway, and during recess. For Research Question 5, using chi-square tests, results showed no statistically significant associations in perceptions of eighth-grade students and teachers on the social and physical environments from the end of 2015 to the end of 2016, as determined by the South Carolina Department of Education Annual Report Card Summary Evaluation Results.

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life. Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however, the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring. Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms, instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are contextual factors that must be considered to understand and effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization. Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of parents, educators and school administrators, health care providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease peer victimization behavior and consequences.

This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is designed to help teachers and service providers work successfully with children who exhibit emotional and behavioral disorders by affording them a repertoire of valuable, evidence-based treatment strategies. Furthermore, because the book represents a synthesis of expertise, written from the dual perspectives of an experienced clinician and an educator, the school professional who reads it will better understand the role of both teacher and service provider, thus optimizing the coordination and effectiveness of the services that are critical to the success of these students. ‘Working with Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: A Guide for K-12 Teachers and Service Providers’ explores the most prevalent behavioral disorders encountered by school professionals as they work with today’s students. These high-incidence behavioral disorders are addressed by type, and each includes a discussion of the relevant characteristics, causes, prevalence, and treatment strategies. Features that are unique to this book include its acknowledgement of the need for a collaborative approach to these problems by all school professionals, as well as the coordination of services provided by the classroom teacher and other service providers working with these students. To date, few books, if any, have provided this holistic perspective. This book is designed to help K-12 teachers and related service providers (i.e., school psychologists, school social workers, speech-language pathologists, guidance counselors, and occupational therapists) work successfully with children who exhibit emotional and behavioral disorders by affording them a repertoire of valuable, evidence-based treatment strategies.
