“…Hence, both boys and girls can commit more verbal aggressions because these are mixed up with tricks or ordeals typical of the age. 29 In view of the results found on the emotions produced in the context of bullying, the most prevailing response among the male and female victims was anger. Although the information on how the emotional conditions of children and adolescents in bullying situations are related to their reaction towards the aggression remain limited, it is clear that the emotions can function as catalysts of this process, stimulating more or less appropriate reactions to cope with the violence.…”

ABSTRACT:The objective was to estimate the prevalence of school bullying and identify the emotions of students involved. In this cross-sectional and descriptive study, a questionnaire was applied to 232 sixth-grade students of a public school. The results show a large number of students involved in bullying (39.6%): 22.2% were victims and 17.4% were aggressors. Anger was the most frequent emotion experienced by the victims when suffering aggression, while most aggressors reported that no emotions were experienced when abusing their peers. The high prevalence of bullying, its characteristics and the negative consequences that arise make it a public health problem. This study covers the importance of identifying emotions associated with school bullying, a subject seldom explored, which can contribute to the development of integral healthcare delivered to students. DESCRIPTORS:Violence. Bullying. School health. Intersectorial action. PREVALÊNCIA DE BULLYING E EMOÇÕES DE ESTUDANTES ENVOLVIDOS RESUMO:Este artigo objetivou estimar a prevalência de bullying escolar e identificar as emoções dos estudantes envolvidos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e descritivo, desenvolvido mediante a aplicação de um questionário em 232 estudantes do sexto ao nono anos do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública. Dentre os resultados encontrados, destaca-se a grande quantidade de participação dos estudantes investigados em atos de bullying (39,6%), dos quais 22,2% eram vítimas e 17,4% agressores. A raiva foi a emoção prevalentemente experimentada pelas vítimas durante as agressões que sofriam. Já os agressores, em sua maioria, relataram que o fato de agredirem seus colegas não gerou emoções. A alta prevalência do bullying, suas características e as consequências negativas por ele acarretadas o configuram em problema de saúde pública. O estudo remete à importância da identificação das emoções associadas à ocorrência do bullying, tema ainda pouco explorado e que pode contribuir na construção do cuidado integral da saúde do escolar.

“…Differences between teacher and student perceptions of school safety also exist, with teachers tending to rate schools safer than students (see also Booren, Handy, & Power, 2011). However, Hernandez and colleagues (Hernandez, Floden, & Bosworth, 2010) found that although students and teachers shared comparable perceptions of safety, these did not necessarily correspond with law enforcement reports. Other aspects of the school environment such as teaching involvement and school rule enforcement increased opinions of safety, while the reverse effect was evident for observed weapon carrying, actual or perceived levels of victimization, larger class sizes, and school disorder (Hong & Eamon, 2012;Melde & Esbensen, 2009;Perumean-Chaney & Sutton, 2013).…”

The use of security measures within schools has increased dramatically over the past few decades. These proliferations are often touted by teachers, school administrators, politicians, and the public as necessary for improving student safety. Though research in this area is growing, we know little about how increased use of school security measures relates to both student and parental perceptions of school safety. Using data from wave one of the 2002 Educational Longitudinal Study, the current study investigates the relationship between the use of security measures in schools and student and parent assessments of safety. Findings from multi-level models indicate that school security measures are, generally, related to decreased perceptions of safety by both parents and students. Implications of these findings are addressed.

“…Firstly, the participants conducted the study within a framework of legal legislation in order to create content related to their own specific subject areas. Despite the existence of legislation, there have been notable information and perception deficiencies in its implementation (Çalık et al, 2018;Hernandez et al, 2010). For this reason, integrating appropriate content into the materials design and construction was an important area of critique, which was successfully achieved by the preservice teachers.…”

This collaborative project-based learning (CPBL) study concerns the design and development of educational material set by preservice teachers. During the study, Web 2.0 technologies were used as tools to support collaborative knowledge construction in terms of school health and safety. Based on the purpose of the study, mixed method was employed. Qualitative results indicated that CPBL was an appropriate choice for studies aiming to increase awareness and knowledge in a special context. Preparing an educational material set with a wide variety of Web 2.0 tools based on predetermined criteria through CPBL strategy can enable participants to enhance their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Moreover, CPBL was effective in increasing the participants' motivation and self-regulation towards technology learning.
