Abstract

This research study describes the occurrence of bullying of preservice teachers within a university environment, the emotional impact of such behaviour and the challenges for universities in countering the behaviour. The study investigates preservice teachers’ knowledge of bullying; bullying behaviours towards others; and those directed at them; the emotional impact of bullying; and utilisation of sources of support. Predominantly quantitative methodologies are used for the collection of data, with some qualitative methods used, such as open-ended questions, to further bring meaning to the data. A modified questionnaire originally developed by the School of Psychology was distributed to ninety-five pre-service teachers from one campus of a multi-campus university in Australia. Results from the study indicate that 91 of the 95 students (96%) did experience some form of bullying behaviours in their lives; by the second year of university, 45% of this bullying was experienced at university. Bullying behaviours directed towards others were investigated, including, making jokes about others (29%), direct teasing of another (28%), and rude remarks directed against another (27%). Friends (55%), family (28%) and other university students (24%) were the main reported bullies towards the students, with teaching personnel (2%) not rated highly.
