Looking for Research Participants - teachers, teaching assistants - trainee, current, past.

[PsychStudent22]

Hi, my name is Megan Jenkins, and I am running a project as part of my degree in Psychology. My project examines teachers’ and teaching assistants’ perceptions of bullying prevention and intervention in schools. To take part, you need to be over 18 years old and be a teacher/teaching assistant, a trainee teacher/ teaching assistant or former teacher/teaching assistant.
During the survey, you will be first asked to complete a short demographics questionnaire. Then, you will be asked to complete two further questionnaires relating to bullying. The study should take about 10 -15 minutes to complete.

Participation is anonymous and completely voluntary. You can leave at any time during the study without giving a reason or skip any questions you do not wish to answer.
You may enter your email address at the end of the study, to be in the chance of winning one, £25 Amazon voucher should you wish to do so.

If you are interested to take part, please follow the link https://greenwichuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0HSrvR8bLd1c5bE

If you have any questions before taking part in the study, please contact me at [email protected].

Completed, but I felt that some of the questions didn't quite apply to an English school setting, or would not be appropriate in an English school?

Thank you for completing the survey. Your time is very much appreciated.

The questionnaires used in this study are prominent within the research of bullying worldwide.

Unfortunately, there are limited studies into teachers/teaching assistants perception of bullying on prevention & intervention (especially in the UK) and therefore these were the most appropriate scales available. The scales used have gone through rigourous testing and assessments, before being allowed to be globally used in this topic of research.

Nevertheless, the scales in this study will still provide a greater insight into the perceptions from Teachers & TA's and will form a good basis for future research & hopefully, encourage more UK appropriate scales to be created.

Unfortunately, as a student I am not in a position to create new scales, however, I appreciate your comments and it does highlight the need for more research in the UK to be carried out in this particular topic and I thank you once again for completing the study.

If you have anymore queries or would like to discuss the results after the study has completed, you are most welcome to keep in touch with me via my email provided in my original post.

Thank you,
Megan
