Изследване на компетентностите на студенти за справяне с проявите на тормоз между спортуващи деца
Exploring the Competencies of Students in Addressing Bullying among Children Engaged in Sports

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to investigate the competencies of future sports educators – second-year university students – with regard to recognizing and addressing manifestations of bullying among children aged 7 to 10 engaged in sports activities. A questionnaire comprising five case scenarios describing various situations involving potential bullying in a sports context was employed. The responses of 180 students (62 women and 118 men) were analyzed. The results indicate that prospective coaches demonstrate an understanding of the importance of adopting an active educational role and collaborating with parents in the prevention of bullying. There is a noticeable caution regarding the implementation of strict punitive measures, with a preference for non-violent approaches focused on understanding the issue and promoting alternative behaviors. The majority of students (82.8%) identified the described situations as manifestations of aggressive behavior and bullying. These findings highlight the importance of equipping sports pedagogy students with the necessary training for effective intervention in bullying incidents in youth sports, with an emphasis on positive educational strategies.
