El acoso escolar-bullying en los niños de noveno año de EGB de la institución educativa Sol en los Andes de Guayaquil

Abstract

Bullying is a persistent problem that significantly affects students around the world. This thesis examines the incidence, manifestations, and consequences of bullying in the school context. Using a qualitative approach, the author's intervention is described. She used educational workshops and training to inform and educate the student population and parents of the 9th level of basic higher education "Sol en los Andes" about bullying, providing the necessary resources to address this social problem. Bullying manifests itself in various forms, including spreading rumors, cyberbullying, humiliating names, among others. These behaviors not only deteriorate the educational environment, but also have profound negative effects on the mental health and academic performance of the victims. Results of studies will be presented that indicate the prevalence of bullying in numerous school contexts and that its manifestations vary depending on factors such as gender, age, and socioeconomic environment. The study reveals that existing intervention strategies, such as anti-bullying programs and school policies, often have limitations in their implementation and effectiveness. Successful interventions tend to be those that involve students and their families. Strengthening educational programs on bullying, promoting a respectful school culture, and encouraging open communication among all members of the educational community are recommended. In addition, the implementation of support and guidance mechanisms for victims and training for teachers in conflict management and resolution techniques are suggested. In conclusion, the study underlines the need for concerted and continuous action to combat bullying and create a safe and healthy educational environment for all students.
