Teaching Practices, Social Climate, School Safety And Student Violence

The school context prevents bullying. The study analyzed the relationship between teaching practices of direct intervention, safety, school climate and harassment among students. The sample consists of 291 students aged between 9 and 13 years old (M = 10.94, SD = 2.77) from 17 elementary schools in a state of Mexico. Results of the linear regression suggest that direct intervention practices, safety and a positive school climate reduce harassment. We concluded that the variables involved in the study prevent harassment. Finally, we discuss the implications of the findings.
