DEGREE LEVEL OF BULLYING FELT BY GRADE _____ PUPILS AND

TEACHER’S COPING STRATEGIES TAUGHT: BASIS FOR

MINIMIZING BULLYING PRACTICE

I. INTRODUCTION

In today’s generation, bullying became one of the major problems of teenagers that are

associated through their acts towards other people; elementary pupils are never an excuse to this.

Admit it or not in many instances of our lives we commit bullying, we sometimes are the bully

and we sometimes are the victims of bullying. Most of the people are not aware that they

perform bullying in their everyday lives. First thing that we must know is what is bullying?

There are numerous definitions of bullying as stated by many people, associations, books and

other learning materials. Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales Here are some of the definitions that

will define bullying. According to American Psychological Association, “Bullying is a form of

aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and repeatedly causes another person injury

or discomfort. Bullying can take the form of physical contact, words or more subtle actions. The

bullied individual typically has trouble defending him or herself and does nothing to “cause” the

bullying.” There you go, as supported by this foreign association bullying takes place when we

intentionally and repeatedly cause harm to other people that it affects their way of life negatively.
Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales There are numerous kinds of bullying such as physical bullying,

verbal bullying, cyber bullying and social bullying. First, let’s talk about physical bullying.

Physical bullying includes hitting, kicking, pinching, spitting, and tripping, pushing taking or

breaking someone’s thing and making mean or rude hand gestures. This type of bullying focused

obviously on the person’s body and possession hurting a person through personal contact of

interaction is classified as physical bullying. Secondly, verbal bullying is when we upset other

people through the words that we utter. In this kind of bullying it includes teasing, name calling,

insults, intimidation, inappropriate sexual comments, taunting, homophobic or racist remarks

threatening or simply verbal abuse. This indeed plays a major role in a person’s life because it

targets the mind of an individual that connects on their feelings and emotions. When emotion and

feelings strike it affects the way of thinking of a person and sometimes the brain that is

responsible to this is also affected that sometimes it leads for the brain to malfunction. This is

when the bullying is too much that a person cannot contain. Dr. Teresita Gonzales Thirdly, cyber

bullying can be overt or covert bullying behaviors by the use of technology including hardware

and software. This can be public or in private that sometimes the bullying known only by the

target and the bully. Cyber bullying includes nasty gossip or rumors, deliberately excluding

others online, abusive or hurtful texts, emails or posts, images or videos and imitating others

online or using their log-in. This ground to a person to down him/herself by the fact that the

impression of the people around him/her is not good. The built reputation of him/her was being

wrecked. Lastly, social bullying is often harder to recognize and can be carried out behind the

bullied person’s back. Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales This is designed to harm some time’s

social reputation and/or cause humiliation. Social bullying sometimes referred to as relational

bullying, involves hurting someone’s reputation or relationships and it includes, lying and
spreading rumors, negative facial or physical gestures, menacing or contemptuous looks, playing

nasty jokes to embarrass and humiliate, mimicking unkindly, encouraging others to socially

exclude someone and damaging someone's social reputation or social acceptance. This kind of

bullying will destroy the social life that their target had. Bullying here in the Philippines and

even in abroad is correlated in every aspect of our lives. Dr. Teresita Gonzales As for me,

bullying is not a privileged that a bully can take just for him to believe that superstition of being

higher than the others. If you believe that you are high enough with others, I tell you drop that

superstitious belief of yours because the number one bully or challenger that you need to conquer

or cope up with is yourself. Bullying is always there and it’s really hard to find a suitable

solution for it to vanish. But one thing is for sure we need to be well equipped and responsible

enough for the things we do. Beware of the possible effect of the things you will do before you

eventually decided to do it and put it into reality. Others might say that as long as you’re not hurt

it will not matter but always consider the feelings of the people around you. You aren’t made to

live as on your own because no one is capable of doing that and the mere fact that we need others

on our side. So, we need to be mindful enough in choosing the wise and right decision that will

benefit or favor not just ourselves but also other people. Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales

Statement of the Problem

(Enumerate here all the problems you encountered about “bullying” in your respective

classes). Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales

All of these problems must be answered in the research tool (questionnaire).

Scope and Limitation

This action research will assess the degree level of bullying felt by grade ____ pupils and

teacher coping strategies applied. This will serve as basis in minimizing bullying practice.

Review of Literature

(Be sure that readings will be only 5 years ago up to the present.)

A literature review is a comprehensive summary of previous research on a topic.

The literature review surveys scholarly articles, books, and other sources relevant to a particular

area of research. The review should enumerate, describe, summarize, objectively evaluate and

clarify this previous research. A literature review is a comprehensive summary of previous

research on a topic. The literature review surveys scholarly articles, books, and other sources

relevant to a particular area of research.

Related literature studies are inquiries, or investigations already conducted to which the

present proposed study is relate or has some bearing or similarity. They are usually unpublished

materials such as manuscripts, theses, and dissertations. Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales

Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

(There must be at least 3 theories to be cited/enumerated with complete description

that are all related to “bullying”. On this part, you can apply the IPO process for the

conceptual framework.)

acknowledge in the statement of the problem of this study as formulated. The study will be

based on a descriptive research method. From this the researcher will arrive at a conclusion as
well as formulate recommendations and suggestions. Informal interviews will also be conducted

among the respondents to gather information as what to suggest minimizing bullying practice

among them.

Participants

The research participants are ____ sections of Grade ___ pupils of

________________________________________________. Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales

Respondents

Grade ____ are composed of ____ pupils per class. ____ sections will be the total
population taken. ____ sections times ____ has a product of _____ all in all.

Population and Sampling

The total population will be too large to handle and entailed too much time, cost and

effort; taking samples will be a very good alternative. It could be noted that if a small part of the

population was considered, sampling error should be expected. Thus, in drawing conclusions

about the population from which a sample was drawn, the researcher decided to choose the right

sampling method that was truly representative of the entire population.

The computation of the sample size that will be applied is Slovin’s formula.

Formula:

N
n=
1+ Ne2

Where:

N = the population size (in this example, the population size is 225)
 e2 = the margin of error

n = the sample size

The computation is shown below: Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales

Data Gathering Procedure

A questionnaire will be designed and administered to participants. A letter of permission

to conduct the study will be secured in the concerned head office. After permission will be

granted to undertake the study, the floating of the questionnaire will follow. The questionnaire

will be constructed by the researcher himself. Of the two-hundred twenty-five total population,

only one-hundred forty-four (144) respondents will be taken from the total population using

Slovin’s Formula with a 0.05 margin of error. Small sample sizes can provide highly reliable

findings depending on the sampling procedures adopted by Schiffman and Kanuk, (1997).

Ethical Considerations

(Ethics searches for reasons for acting or refraining from acting; for approving or not

approving conduct; for believing or denying something about virtuous or vicious conduct or

good or evil rules. Dr. Teresita Felicilda Gonzales Ethical considerations can be addressed at

individual and at societal levels.)

Data Analysis
