“…Perspectives of teachers and school administrators on contract teaching in developing nations are typically similar. Labor and employment policies in education should be set up in a healthy approach in order for them to be applied efficiently (Dawes, 2022). The determination of employment relations in education is crucial, particularly when identifying the factors that affect the educational process and assessing the quality of the educational service.…”

The Turkish educational system employs teachers in a variety of positions with varying levels of privileges but also with some shared traits. This study aims to ascertain contract teachers' and school administrators' perspectives on the contract teaching procedure from the standpoint of these distinctions. The focus group interview technique, which favors the phenomenology approach, a qualitative research method, was employed in the study. 15 educators and 6 administrators who are employed in the Türkiye for the 2022–2023 school year make up the two separate study groups. Additionally, a semi-structured observation form was utilized in the research as a method for gathering data. In the data analysis, the content analysis technique was used to examine the information gleaned from the open-ended questions asked in the semi-structured interviews. As a result of the content analysis, the study findings were thoroughly assessed, and the data gathered within the confines of each sub-problem was coded. These codes were then collected under the appropriate themes. It was concluded that the contract teaching had a negative impact on school administrators, contract teachers, and the educational process.

“…For example, a study among 153 teachers in Pakistan showed that over half of the teachers (53.6%) lacked adequate knowledge about bullying in school, and struggled to recognize more subtle or indirect forms of bullying, such as emotional or relational bullying (Shamsi et al, 2019). Studies have also shown that compared with in-service teachers, preservice teachers' knowledge of bullying was even more limited (Dawes et al, 2022). Preservice teachers were less likely to identify the different types of bullying, and the roles individuals can play in bullying dynamics, than in-service teachers (Henry, 2020).…”

“…Studies have shown that teachers who lack sufficient knowledge about bullying or believe that bullying is a normal part of child development are less likely to adopt effective bullying strategies (Hektner & Swenson, 2012; Mishna et al, 2020). A review study showed that as future educators, most preservice teachers lack knowledge of bullying, and have difficulties identifying and intervening in bullying situations (Dawes et al, 2022). Few preservice teachers understood the hallmarks of bullying, and although most preservice teachers reported that they were concerned about bullying, some still believed it to be a normal part of growing up (Dawes et al, 2022).…”

Bullying is prevalent in many schools worldwide. Providing bullying prevention training to preservice teachers can make a significant difference in preventing school bullying. There is a lack of training in bullying prevention for preservice teachers in China, and the effectiveness of such training for bullying prevention has not yet been established. The present study examined the effectiveness of bullying prevention training on antibullying self‐efficacy and incorrect beliefs about bullying among Chinese preservice teachers. A total of 139 preservice teachers (Mage = 20.76 years, SD = 0.80 years, ranging from 19 to 23 years; 90.6% women) were randomly assigned to the bullying prevention training (n = 73) or the control group (n = 66). Preservice teachers completed pre‐ and posttraining surveys. The participants in the treatment group completed a 5‐week bullying prevention training program (1.5 h per week). Measures of antibullying self‐efficacy and incorrect beliefs about bullying were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the bullying prevention training. Results indicated that the training increased preservice teachers' antibullying self‐efficacy but did not decrease their incorrect beliefs about bullying. Practical implications, limitations, and future directions of these findings are discussed.

Bullying is a complex phenomenon that the school constantly faces, whether it is known and identified or not. It is about what we call teasing or repeated harassment applied to others verbally, emotionally and physically. Because bullying represents an asymmetric relationship between the aggressor and the victim and because those involved are children and teenagers, it is necessary that the adults in their lives, i.e. teachers and parents, are well informed about this phenomenon, in order to stop it and to find then the best ways of change and training. This paper aims to identify the level of knowledge and awareness regarding bullying among pre-university teachers. The exploratory research presented in this article is based on the application of an online questionnaire, composed of 10 questions, to a number of 55 teachers from pre-university education. The questions asked required both open and closed answers. Thus, the article presents synthetically the answers given by the surveyed teachers, to the following aspects: what do the teachers know about bullying, respectively how do they represent this concept if they do not know exactly what it means; which signs confirm the presence of this phenomenon; what type of behavior qualifies as bullying; how do they define bullying; where he considers that most forms of bullying take place; where and when he considers that such acts of aggression take place most often; forms of bullying known and observed in the school where I teach; how they experienced any of the bullying situations as teachers.
