Abstract:
The article considers the problem of studying and preventing,
and also presents the results of the authors' practical experience - an express
study to identify bullying in schools in Almaty. An analysis of the
experience of foreign countries in preventing bullying shows that many of
their programs are aimed at attracting all members of the teaching staff. The
authors substantiate the fact that most programs do not take into account the
potential "internal" resources of potential victims of bullying. The purpose
of this study is an analytical study and practical justification of the problem
of bullying in the school environment based on rapid research in teenage
high schools. Some general characteristics typical of children at risk of
bullying were noted on the basis of the results of Diagnostic methods: high
level of anxiety, emotional lability, emotional volitional instability, timidity,
low self-esteem, inadequate level of claims, low concentration of attention,
avoidance - as the main strategy to overcome conflict situations. A “risk
group” was identified based on the results of diagnostics and emotional
development programs “World of Emotions” and trainings to develop skills
to combat bullying, and “potential victims of bullying” were conducted with
this risk group. The results showed positive dynamics, which confirmed the
assumption that students need to develop skills to combat bullying - skills to
combat bullying, such as: emotional stability, stability, poise, willpower,
mental strength and so on.
