EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF VARIOUS FORMS OF BULLYING ON LEARNING MOTIVATION

Abstract

Bullying in the school environment is one of the factors that can hinder students' academic and psychological development. This study aims to explore the impact of various forms of bullying—physical, verbal, social, and cyber—on students' learning motivation. Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, this research analyzes how bullying experiences affect students' self-confidence, engagement in learning, and academic achievement. The findings reveal that students who experience bullying tend to suffer from stress, anxiety, and a lack of security, leading to a decline in learning motivation. Furthermore, cyberbullying has a broader impact compared to other forms of bullying, as it can persist outside the school environment, worsening victims' psychological conditions. The study also finds that support from teachers, family, and peers plays a crucial role in mitigating the negative effects of bullying on students' learning motivation. Therefore, effective prevention and intervention policies are needed to create a safe and inclusive learning environment. In conclusion, understanding the impact of different forms of bullying on learning motivation can help educational institutions develop better strategies to protect students and enhance the quality of their learning experience.
