Teachers‘ bullying-related self-efficacy: A systematic review on connections to bullying interventions

  • Recent research indicates that teacher self-efficacy as a belief to have enough capabilities to accomplish a given task successfully (Bandura, 1994) is an important competence for successful bullying prevention and intervention (e.g., Boulton, 2014; Bradshaw, Sawyer & O’Brennan, 2007; Yoon & Bauman, 2014). But studies vary concerning the definition and specificity of self-efficacy and concerning the samples used. Therefore, the findings differ greatly. Empirical studies on teacher self-efficacy in the context of student bullying were searched in relevant databases. 36 relevant publications were identified in a multi-staged process. Quality criteria were adapted from the Cochrane Collaboration. Most publications report consistently that teachers feel not very confident in dealing with bullying in general and feel least confident when dealing with cyberbullying. Results on differences according to gender, work experience and school type are very heterogeneous.

Most publications report consistently that teachers feel not very confident in dealing with bullying in general and feel least confident when dealing with cyberbullying. Results on differences according to gender, work experience and school type are very heterogeneous. Consistent findings are reported concerning the likelihood of intervention: Teachers who are more confident are more likely to intervene in bullying. But no consistent findings arise for the choice of specific intervention strategies. The heterogeneity of the findings can be explained by different types of self-efficacy, by differences in the measures, and by different educational contexts. In the presentation, this information will be combined to understand differences better and to integrate the existing results. Results indicate that the more specific self-efficacy is assessed, the more connections between self-efficacy and bullying interventions can be found.show moreshow less
