Bowllan, N. (2011). Implementation and Evaluation of a Comprehensive, School-Wide Bullying Prevention Program in an Urban/ Suburban Middle School. Journal of School Health 18(4), 167-173. After reading Nancy Bowllan’s (2011) article, I would stay that it does meet the qualifications set in chapter 22. The article gives a thorough literature review after discussing the problem that prompted the experiment. The literature review, though brief, gives a general overview of what bullying has done, and then goes into more specific reviews. After this, Bowllan (2011) discusses her purpose and then goes into her research question. I would say that the research question is something that is possible to research. The concept of researching bullying trends …show more content…

Bowllans (2011) goes into details about the questionnaires, giving all of the details of the OBVQ and what it entails, such as how many questions and the subjects that the questions would touch on. Bowllans (2011) was also discusses the way the Teacher Questionnaire worked and how valid these tests were. Following the discussion of the subjects and the research tools, Bowllans (2011) goes into the procedures she used. Here, the article is very detailed. Bowllans (2011) discusses how the research project required that the classrooms be intact. From there, she discusses the quasi experimental design of the project and how the “cohorts” would have multiple functions in the project. From there, Bowllans (20110 discusses how the research was actually enacted in the classroom. This is one of the reasons why I believe the article was well done; because of the detailed descriptions of how the questionnaires were administered. Due to the detailed nature of the procedures section, this part of the research could be duplicated if someone wanted to see if they would get the same

Despite the emphasis we placed on designing and executing a rigorous school-randomized controlled trial, several limitations of this study should be mentioned. Unlike Frey et al. (2005), we did not use observational measures of playground behaviors despite the fact that their study found intervention effects in several bullying-related behaviors with this method. The use of students' self-report of bullying and bullying-related behaviors has been brought into question (Frey et al., 2009; Jenson & Dieterich, 2007). Although other sources of data (e.g., firsthand playground observations and direct observation of teachers in classrooms) could provide a unique perspective to program implementation and effectiveness, these are expensive and difficult to implement in large-scale school-randomized trials.

Does the report describe an explicit theoretical or conceptual framework for the study? If not, does the absence of a framework detract from the usefulness or significance of the research? This article expressly states it’s theoretical framework by saying, “The purpose of this study was to examine workplace bullying victims’ perceptions of what they heard their bully counterparts say through their use of prosody” (Dzurec, Kennison, & Albataineh, 2014, para. 1). In other words, based on the idea of a theoretical framework as described in (Polit & Beck, 2017) this study is based on the idea of perceptions that employees had of being bullied through the way they were spoken to.

Furthermore, the reason I chose this topic was because I wanted to develop a better understanding on the victim’s experience during and after experiencing bullying. I also wanted to learn about the victim’s social and family life and how it’s affected by bullying and how the victim copes with the depression that they experience. I believe that bullying and depression are very serious as these two things could ruin one’s life and society should pay more attention to these two things and prevent them from occurring. I thought of doing this topic since I wanted to become more aware of bullying and learn all the factors that tie into bullying and what are the reasons that lead to depression since they both are interlinked. I believe that this topic is important as many people experience bullying and some have even committed suicide due to it and some are just left in depression because of it, which is why it’s an important topic as our society is drastically effected by it.

Bullying has been named an “emerging public health issue requiring intervention” (Ansary, Elias, Greene, & Green, 2015, p. 27). As a major problem in schools around the world, the issue of bullying must be addressed in order to keep students physically and emotionally safe. The act of bullying not only affects the well-being of the person being targeted, but it also affects the rest of the school community too. It can be difficult for teachers, principals, and superintendents to make an ethical decision about what to do when bullying occurs because there are misunderstandings about what bullying is, leading to the improper identification of situations.

Bullying in Schools What seems fun and harmless for some students, is painful and degrading to others. Bullying has been a critical issue around schools, but before it was not as dangerous and know as it is now. These do not means bullying was not happening, it means it was not taken into consideration by parents or teachers. They thought it was just peer pressure or a kids game, and sooner or later the kids would be friends again. At one point, bullies think it’s normal to be mean and abusive to other students.

Bullying is a widespread problem in our schools and communities and has a negative impact on students’ right to learn in a safe and secure environment without fear. It is a process in which one person repeatedly uses his/her superior strength or influence to mistreat, attack or force another person to do something (Van der Werf, 2014). Bullying or peer victimization is now recognized as a complex and pervasive problem (Beran, 2009). It is an ongoing problem that is not restricted by age, race, gender or class. This behavior generally takes one of four forms, physical such as assault, verbal which involves threats or insults, social which entails exclusion or rumor spreading, and cyber which includes aggressive texts or social network posts
