PUPILS' VIEW ON SOCIO-PATHOLOGICAL PHENOMENA

Abstract

The main goal of the research was to determine the degree of occurrence and prevention of socio-pathological phenomena in primary school pupils established according to Paragraph 16, Section 9 of the Education Act. Based on the main goal, partial goals were set, which were focused mainly on finding the most common socio-pathological phenomena at the primary school established according to Paragraph 16, Section 9 of the Education Act, as well as how pupils perceive primary prevention at the primary school established according to Paragraph 16, Section 9 of the Education Act, and which topics in the field of prevention of socio-pathological phenomena are most often dealt with by teachers, educators, parents and legal guardians at the primary school established according to Paragraph 16, Section 9 of the Education Act. Three hypotheses were based on the goals given, which were verified in a research survey. To achieve the objective of the research survey, a quantitative method was used in the form of a self-designed questionnaire. The sample consisted of 83 respondents who participated in the research survey. The research survey showed that the appearance of socio-pathological phenomena in pupils in selected primary schools established according to Paragraph 16, Section 9 of the Education Act is more frequent than expected. Most of the pupils in selected primary schools face socio-pathological phenomena, most of them substance abuse and aggressive behavior. On the other hand, the issue of cyberbullying occurs the least among primary school pupils established according to Paragraph 16, Section 9 of the Education Act. From the point of view of pupils, primary prevention in selected primary schools is sufficient.
