Presence and prevalence of bullying in integration classes

Bullying is a controversial topic and a serious problem that is becoming increasingly prevalent in primary schools. Bullying can have a negative impact on a child’s future school career and life. As a result, it is not uncommon for both psychological and physical problems to arise. If bullying is not addressed by teachers, parents or guardians, going to school can become a torment for every child who is bullied. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in the prevalence and severity of bullying in integrated classes and mainstream classes. The study is conducted using a questionnaire addressed to teachers of integrated classes and mainstream classes. The results are explained and described in Chapter 4.
