AN INVESTIGATION OF STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF BULLYING AT THE ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM SRIWIJAYA
Bullying is one of the biggest problems of aberrant behavior in the world nowadays. Since bullying in schools, educational institutes, and workplaces is known to exist, it was reasonable to assume that bullying may also exists at tertiary study level. This study was aimed to focus investigate the types and factors that caused bullying among peers at the English Education Study Program within Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of a state University in Indonesia. There were 224 students participated in this study. The data were collected by using a questionnaire and an interview. The result of the questionnaire revealed that 64 students (29%) admitted they had ever been bullied. The findings also showed that type of bully that mostly occurred in the participants’ classroom was verbal bullying (67.7%), followed by relational bullying (32.3%). Next, the findings of the written interview with the 64 students showed that there were four factors that caused bullying: psychological (demands perfection, pride and arrogance, and jealousy), family-related (parenting style and lack of character education taught by parents), university-related (the role of peers, the gap among students, and lack of lecturer attention and control toward students), and socioeconomic (the role of neighbors on manners). The Chi-Square analysis showed that (p-value 61.264 > critical value 3.325) there was a significant association between the types and the factors that caused bullying inside the English classroom.
