Abstract

The article presents a study aimed at revealing the scope and forms of peer violence based on the statements of pedagogy students as witnesses of such incidents during school education. The research employed a qualitative strategy for an in-depth exploration of the issue under study, using a survey questionnaire with open-ended questions. The results of the study indicate that peer violence occurs at all educational stages, but the highest incidence was noted in the older grades of elementary school and in middle school. Various forms of violence were identified, including physical aggression, verbal abuse, social exclusion and cyberbullying. According to the respondents, the effects of violence include lowered self-esteem, social isolation, difficulties in building relationships, and the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms, among others.
