| description | The purpose of the article is to inform high school students and teachers about the problem of preventing bullying and implementing anti-bullying measures at schools in Ukraine.
Methodology. Theoretical research methods were used in the article: systematization; comparison of issues related to bullying prevention; comparison of different author’ views regarding the implementation of anti-bullying measures; and analysis and generalization of scientific, educational, methodological, psychological, and pedagogical resources with the aim of systematizing approaches to bullying prevention.
Results. In order to deepen high school students’ knowledge of anti-bullying skills, we developed and offered two lessons for students. They are “Normative and legal documents on the prevention of bullying and responsibility for it”, “Foreign experience in preventing bullying”, as well as two workshops for teachers, they are “Guidance to teachers on the implementation of anti-bullying measures in Ukraine”, “Tips for teachers on bullying prevention according to the national programs”. We believe they will contribute to bullying prevention in Ukraine.
Conclusions. Conclusions regarding the effective bullying prevention in Ukrainian schools indicate the need for comprehensive, systematic work. The most effective are programs that cover all aspects of school life from creating a friendly and supportive environment to raising awareness among students, teachers, and parents about the bullying problem.
It is important to involve students in the process of bullying prevention through their participation, communication, and creation of student councils that help in conflict resolution. Building interaction and empathy skills among students helps to reduce the level of aggression and bullying. Systematic training for teachers about bullying prevention, as well as the inclusion of bullying topics in school programs, contribute to the development of a safe educational environment in schools. In order to prevent bullying effectively, it is important that students collaborate actively with teachers, parents, and local communities, ensuring that bullying is prevented and countered both inside and outside schools. |
