School Bullying in Korea and Christian Educational Approach
Lee, Kwan-Chun
Asia Pacific Education Review, v4 n1 p75-83 2003
The central purpose of this study is to examine approaches for dealing with the problem of bullying ("wang-tta" in Korean) in schools from the Christian educational perspective. There has been much development in both research and practice in the 1990s and 2000s relating to bullying in Korean schools. Most Korean research on bullying, however, has almost exclusively focussed on verification of the facts that bullying or peer rejection is a widespread phenomenon in schools. This study, however, is mainly concerned with how to tackle effectively the bullying problem on the basis of Christian educational philosophy. To do this, this paper suggests a four stage approach to dealing with bullying: namely, clarifying the Christian school ethos, leading to determine the school's bullying policy. With the bullying policy, school anti-bullying programs could be developed in order to create a bullying-free school environment. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
