DESIRE OF SUCCESSFUL PUPILS FOR EXERCISE IN THE SECOND CYCLE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS VIOLENCE TOWARD PEERS OR NOT

Summary/Abstract: Violence among peers has always been present in the school. This was once attributed to a lack of upbringing, lack of culture, lack of adjustment etc. We are witnessing that peer violence is increasingly present and its forms are more diverse. Physical violence in school is easily detected because it represents a physical abuse of one or more students by one or a group of students. Verbal violence tends to go unnoticed. Students often do not want to report verbal violence out of fear of revenge, condemnation, lack of understanding and eventual increase in verbal violence. However, verbal violence occurs in the presence of teachers, during classes. Here, first of all, is the desire of some successful students to distinguish themselves against less successful students. Successful students, in general, do not show enough patience while students who are less successful are giving answers, solving a tasks, or performing any other school activity. They react quite aggressively, they give answers without allowing other students, who need it, to think, recollect, and formulate the answer. The aggressive performance of good students affects the confidence of less successful students. This encourages their exclusion from joint activities, inequitable participation in work, preventing them from developing in accordance with their own abilities and capabilities. We might say that this is a kind of psychological violence, that is also emotional violence among peers, which the pupils themselves are not aware of. In this case, the role of teachers is invaluable. Since there are no available data on this type of peer violence in Montenegro or in the regional surrounding, the need for this problem to be further analyzed is noticed. Therefore, on the basis of available literature and experience of practitioners, deeper research is devised, which will try to provide more information that would further help controlling the observed behavior.
