COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLICATION
This investigation is relevant as it presents the exposure of 4th and 5th graders in primary education to bullying- mobbing and the frequency of it. At the same time, it gives information about the importance of this issue which makes the research more valuable. Besides this, it gives strict information about constraints of such kind of investigations in Turkey and provides the basis for further researches in this area. The most important group who is needed to conduct such kind of researches are children, families and teachers. Omitting one of these groups can lead to an extremely lack of data. At least, there should be conducted some researches about the children’s relationship in the family and with the teachers in order to prevent bullying and mobbing.
