Bullying en un contexto escolar masculino de la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract

his research, titled Bullying in a Male School Context in the City of Bogotá, Colombia, aims to determine the correlations that may exist between bullying, age, and school grade in a male educational setting in Bogotá. To achieve this goal, both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used, framed within the category of complementary research. A nested or embedded concurrent design with a dominant model was also employed. The data collection techniques, both quantitative and qualitative, included a self-report on bullying developed by the Ombudsman’s Office and UNICEF (2007), a school characterization questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview for victims and perpetrators of bullying. This thesis is divided into seven chapters, beginning with the Introduction (Chapter One). In this section, the reader will find the problem statement and formulation, objectives, methodological framework, study phases, research type, techniques, participants, and finally, the state of the art, where the main findings from bullying studies conducted between 2008 and 2014 in Colombia and other regions are analyzed.
