Review of the Material

The literature that I reviewed provided sound arguments and data that depict the severity of bullying, the misconceptions associated with bullying, the programs that are implemented into schools and their effectiveness. The various authors that I studied provided me with strong detail that properly supported their claim. However, since exploring the issue of anti-bullying programs in American schools is an under-studied issue, there were several gaps. I noticed that some articles needed more information to accurately support their claim. Although little data was collected, authors used Dr. Olweus’s program or similar programs that were integrated into schools and were able to base their study off of those programs. Overall, the studies were strong and provided sound evidence to support their claim as well as demonstrating why programs were effective and ineffective.

Methodology (key concepts)

·         since my propjet does not require data collection, some hypothetical concepts are:

·         Olweus’s program (Olweus bully prevention program OBPP)

·         Art based research- art supplies

·         students will be assessed by viewing their art as well as role playing (Observation)

Recommendations

The literature that I used will be beneficial to other educators because they are introduced to studies that tackle the issue of bullying. Since bullying is becoming more globally recognized, educators will be able to see which practices are implemented into schools and educators can view their effectiveness. Since my project addresses all of these issues, educators who read my project will be able to see how beneficial art is with regards to addressing a constant issue. Art can show how well students understand the material as well as viewing their interpretation of bullying.
