Abstract

Introduction

This study determined the level of effectiveness of public elementary school teachers in dealing with bullying. Specifically, Problem No.1 dealt on the profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, civil status, length of service, highest educational attainment and relevant training attended. Problem No.2 dealt on the level of effectiveness of public elementary school teachers in dealing with bullying along with classroom management, pupil discipline, and pupil conduct management. Problem No. 3 looked into the significant difference in the level of effectiveness in dealing with bullying across the profile variables. Problem No. 4 focused on the significant relationship between the effectiveness in dealing with bullying and their profile variables. Problem No. 5 determined the problems encountered by the respondents in their effectiveness in dealing with bullying.

 

Methods

The descriptive correlation research design was used in this study to describe the respondent's profile as well as their level of effectiveness in dealing with bullying. This study compared the respondents' level of effectiveness with the selected variables. To address the problems, they prefer tools that were used for data analysis and interpretations. Frequency counts. Percentiles weighted mean, ANOVA and the coded Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient were used.

 

Results

The majority of the respondents are 31 to 40 years old, females and married. Most of them are with Master of Arts units, with 5 years and below the length of service and have attended training at various levels. The level of effectiveness in dealing with bullying has a computed average weighted mean of 4.47 equivalent to " highly effective" with classroom management having the highest weighted mean of 4.60 and pupil conduct management having the lowest weighted mean.

 

Discussions

Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn. The profile variables of the respondents are somewhat impressive enough because most of them have Master of Arts units considering that they are only classroom teachers. The teachers need to continue upgrading their level of effectiveness in dealing with bullying specifically along all aspects to sustain their effectiveness. The teachers are not significantly comparable in their level of effectiveness. The teachers are not significantly comparable in their level of effectiveness in dealing with bullying.
