Evaluation of a Psychoeducationally-Based Program Addressing Bullying among Students with Disabilities through Teacher Training
Denzer, Anna Quinn
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Kent State University
The purpose of this study was to examine an abbreviated model of the Bully Busters Teacher Training Program (grades 6-8), paired with an added module designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities. The participants in this study were 14 teachers at a middle school in the Midwestern part of the United States. With regard to bullying prevention and intervention for all students--including those with disabilities--teachers completed pre-test and post-test assessments evaluating their self-efficacy and expectations as related to successfully intervening in a bully victim conflict, knowledge and use of bullying interventions, and perceived frequency of bullying in the school setting. Data analyses revealed that teachers' self-efficacy, expectations for student behavior, and knowledge and use of bullying interventions significantly increased following training. Comparisons with existing bullying literature and implications for practice are discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
