Summary/Abstract: The very name of action research indicates terms that include action, changes, search, invention, participation, flexibility, improvement, improvement, creativity, dialectic, feedback, etc. Each of the above terms is aimed at improving educational practice. The authors have put action research into the function of prevention of peer violence. Analyzing the levels of prevention of peer violence (primary, secondary and tertiary), they saw the importance of preventive actions in relation to subsequent actions. The effects of this type of action were particularly evident in the phases of action research and their cyclical repetitions. On a sample of 426 respondents, high school students, an action research was applied according to the spiral flow model, whose a Potkonjak (1999). The spiral flow model, due to its structure and possibility of application, is particularly suited to the conditions in our schools. The results of the research show that the application of action research in the function of the prevention of peer violence program in high school can contribute to qualitative changes in the behavior of students, which confirms the fact that peer violence and violence in general can be prevented by high-quality pedagogical intervention and prevention, as well as by the application of adequate and high quality designed prevention programs adapted to all ages at school, through special prevention programs or within class community lessons.
