A Comparison of Student and Teacher Perceptions of Bullying in Magnet and Neighborhood Schools in an Urban District

The researcher investigated both student and teacher perceptions of bullying in their schools. Participants in the study were students in grades four to six and their teachers. Observations were made of students and teachers attending four magnet schools and six neighborhood schools within an urban school district. Comparisons were also made between student and teacher perceptions of bullying. Perceptions of bullying were collected through the use of researcher constructed questionnaires. Data were displayed in table form. The results revealed to school administrators whether any interventions needed to be implemented to address bullying with students at the specified grade levels and whether any professional development is needed for teachers. The data indicated that bullying was evident at all schools and at all grade levels studied. Both male and female students encountered bullying with the female students indicating more bullying incidents. Teasing, physical contact, exclusion, and rumors being spread were some of the types of bullying indicated by students.
