QUESTIONING MY OWN UNDERSTANDING GOING INTO THE RESEARCH
Phoebe fell haphazardly into friendship with Allison on the first day of high school. She had been walking confidently in the direction of her next class. Shortly finding herself at the main office, she quickly realised she was completely lost. Unable to spot a single face in the flocks of students flapping past down the corridor, and departed with no other choice, she mustered up the bravery to ask somebody for help. Noticing another four-eyed girl, inconvenienced as she was with big stupid glasses on her face, Phoebe spluttered out an awkward, yet enthusiastic greeting, and babbled about directions to the science labs.
‘Hey, actually, I saw you before, I think we’re in the same class…’ …show more content…
I use the term ontological inconsistency to describe the divide between the theoretical basis of an intervention, and the theoretical perspective of those engaging with the practice and evaluation of these strategies. It highlights the challenges of a public-health approach, where the nature of the model in and of itself leaves means that the interpretation of the policy is subject to people’s attitudes, values and …show more content…
‘This ecological framework has been applied to the conceptualization of bullying perpetration and victimisation and school violence, and it highlights reciprocal influences on bullying behaviours among the individual, family, school, peer group, community, and society’ (D. Espelage, 2015). However, ‘lying at the core of the ecological paradigm in a view of development as a joint interactive function of [the] person in context. However… existing developmental studies subscribing to an ecological orientation have provided far more knowledge of the developmentally relevant environments, near and far, then about the characteristics of developing individuals then and now’ (Bronfenbrenner Centre for Translational Research, n.d.). This is particularly true in the case of research that investigates bullying using school climate measures. This field of research have an abundance of literature that informs us about the individual students' environment and the ways in which the environment is correlated with behaviour, but few studies seem to engage with the transactional influences between the environment and the individual over time. research is needed to thoroughly understand
