STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IN BULLYING PREVENTION AT SCHOOL: A REVIEW FROM A COLLABORATIVE COUNSELING PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Bullying is an aggressive behavior that contradicts social norms. This study aims to reveal student involvement in preventing bullying at school from a collaborative guidance perspective. The sample in this research consisted of 100 students and 4 Guidance Counseling teachers. The results revealed that the majority of students had been victims and perpetrators of bullying and had not been involved in preventing bullying at school. Furthermore, Guidance Counseling teachers have not implemented collaborative bullying prevention by involving students in services or peer counseling. The results of this research show low student involvement in preventing bullying at school, which is shown by not being optimally implemented or involving students in collaboration to prevent bullying at school. Maximum effort is needed through collaborative guidance services involving all school elements, especially students, to build a positive school culture to prevent bullying at school.
