Detaljeret beskrivelse
Peer bullying is a major public health problem that negatively affects children's psychological, social, and educational development. School-based interventions that promote empathy and positive peer relationships may help prevent bullying during the primary school years. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Renkli Adımlar (Colorful Steps) program, a game- and drama-based school intervention developed to improve empathy and reduce bullying perpetration and victimization among primary school children.
A randomized controlled pretest-posttest study was conducted in public primary schools in Burdur, Türkiye. Two schools were selected and allocated to intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in the Renkli Adımlar program, which consisted of eight weekly 40-minute sessions incorporating educational games, creative drama, role-playing, storytelling, puppet activities, collaborative learning, and classroom discussions. The control group continued routine school activities during the study period. Empathy was assessed using the Index of Empathy for Children and Adolescents (IECA), and bullying perpetration and victimization were measured using the Peer Bullying Identification Scale-Child Form (PBIS-CF). Outcomes were evaluated before and immediately after completion of the intervention.
