LUNA, Geisy Lanne Muniz et al. Beliefs, self-efficacy and teacher strategies in face of bullying and perceptions of violence. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.66, e15.  Epub Dec 31, 2023. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v33.n.66.s16671.

This study identified and related violence involving students and teachers, teachers bullying intervention strategies, and their beliefs and perception of self-efficacy to intervene in this problem. With a analytical approach, a cross-sectional study was carried out in 2018 with 46 teachers from Guaiúba, Ceará, Brazil. Three questionnaires were applied to investigate school violence and teachers' practices, beliefs, and perceived self-efficacy in face of bullying. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. There is a significant prevalence of violence in school environments, with a predominance of indirect and verbal violence regarding aggression from students to teachers. Teachers who were perpetrators of bullying in childhood agree more with normative (p = 0,04) and learning beliefs (p = 0,03), while teachers who were victims believe that avoidance strategies are inadequate (p = 0,02). Therefore, it is necessary to identify teachers' perceptions, beliefs, and history of bullying involvement to build more effective programs to combat school violence.
