Odnosna kompetentnost in osebna prožnost učiteljev kot dejavnika odzivanja na medvrstniško nasilje

This article presents the findings of a study conducted as part of Project NEON – Safe Without Violence. The study aimed to explore how positive and negative aspects of teacher-student relationships, along with teacher relational competence and individual resilience, shape teachers‘ responses to incidents of peer bullying. An online survey was completed by 187 primary teachers who teach fourth and fifth grades. The results indicated that the variables examined account for a significant proportion (51.5%) of the differences among teachers regarding their confidence in establishing and maintaining clear rules about peer bullying, thus creating a safe environment and responding appropriately to various forms of peer bullying. The paper concludes with practical implications for the school environment.
