Abstract

The rates published by organizations such as UNICEF, WHO, UNESCO, and PISA on bullying in educational institutions worldwide are quite frightening. In fact, this is the reason for conducting this research. Because there is no concrete and urgent intervention plan on how to combat bullying in primary schools. This situation also constitutes a gap in the related field. Therefore, this research aims to prepare a concrete, urgent intervention plan on how educational stakeholders will fight against bullying in primary schools. The study was conducted with a nested single-case design, one of the qualitative research designs. In the study, “students, teachers, educational administrators, parents, and guidance counselors” were included in the study by using the “criterion sampling” technique, one of the purposeful sampling methods. Focus group interview was selected as the data collection tool in the study. The data obtained from focus group interviews were subjected to theme, descriptive, and content analysis. Throughout the research, eight themes, sixteen categories, and thirty-six codes were reached for the emergency intervention plan for combating bullying in primary schools. As a result, an eight-stage concrete emergency intervention plan was prepared on how educational stakeholders will act against bullying in primary schools.
