Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The talk will initially provide an overview on school bullying, looking at traditional bullying and cyberbullying. I will then present a summary on some recent research we have conducted looking at traditional bullying victimisation, social anxiety, and disrupted classroom concentration. I will then present some research looking at cyberbullying in the school environment, especially how teachers manage it, and how young people perceive and respond to it. School bullying is a considerable problem among school students, and school-wide positive behaviour support interventions are regarded as helpful in addressing it. The talk will finally address a novel anti-bullying intervention – the CATZ Cross-age Teaching Zone. Our research indicates significant positive effects of CATZ and social validity ratings predicted a greater willingness to engage in it in the future. Alongside the extant data for its effectiveness, our findings support the wider use of the CATZ anti-bullying intervention in schools, and suggestions for how this might be brought about will be discussed.
