Description
We
designed a quick 1-minute survey to collect information on bullying in
schools from Asia and the US. Five short questions could be answered by
checking one or more responses. Apart from a single question about the
country a child came from, no identifying information about the child
or his/her school was collected.
112 children completed the survey. They came from 11 different countries and study in a U.S. or Asian school.
This is a great way to learn about bullying in your school, neighborhood, or country. Also, when kids take a survey and think about the results, they can learn about other children's ideas. If you create your own survey, you can use our questions or create your own.
