Seguros en Confianza - Goal is to educate about bullying, cyberbullying and related topics
This research evaluated the knowledge and skills of teachers from kindergarten to eighth grade in Puerto Rico regarding bullying. It compared their responses to the Olweus Anti-Bullying Program Guide and other proven programs, and identified limitations in teacher training. The findings suggest the need for a new curriculum or program to effectively address bullying, particularly in light of international changes in perspectives from UNESCO and WABF. The study used a comparative quantitative approach with 412 teachers within the public education system. Key deficiencies were found, such as 50% lacking skills to address cyberbullying. The study also revealed a lack of awareness about the vulnerability of LGBTQ+ students and challenges in applying effective anti-bullying strategies.
