Richards+stats+investigation.

 Wednesday 1st of April Introduction:

Our class has been put into groups to do a statistical investigation. We have all chosen a problem around our school [Fairfield Intermediate].We have chosen one of the main and worst problems in the school and that is BULLYING. We sent an email around to all the teachers in the school to see if we can come into their class and investigate how many people get bullied. We couldn’t say all the types of bullying because there is so much so we had to take four different types of them and they are Cyber, text, name calling, and physical bullying.

Participants:

Room 14, room21 , room 28 , room 2 , room 11 , room 15 , room 24 , room 13 , room 18 , 9 , room 22 and room 19 from Fairfield Intermediate. All of the students were year of 7 and 8.

Materials:

We used a Laptop, a pencil and a pad.

Procedure:

First all the groups had to choose a subject around the school. Secondly we wrote a letter to all the teachers in the school to check if it was all right to come into their class and do our investigation. We then went to the provided classes that said we could come and investigate who gets bullied. We wrote out the results on the pad and went back to class to do the assignment. We are then going to report this to Mr Noble/Principle and hopefully he will stop the bullying.

Results:

Out of the 274 students we sour 109 students got bullied and 145 students didn’t get bullied.
 * || Cyber bullied. || Text bullied. || Name called. || Phisycal bullied. || No Bullied. ||
 * No.of students. || 5 || 8 || 81 || 35 || 145 ||

Discussion:

Our investigation has turned out quite bad looking at the results. We have found out that people getting name called is the most used for bullying someone and that about half the school would probably get name called. Another bad thing in our investigation is the Physical bullying. Discussion:  Our investigation has indicated that there is a fair bit of bullying going  on  around the classes and that some people d on’t feel safe at this school. Our research may not appear to be true because some people may not have wanted to tell us that they get bullied probably due to them not feeling safe so therefore we may not have the right results and that there may be a lot more bullying going around the scool and that is concerning. We have a fair assumption of how many people get bullied and what the main type of bully ing to bully people with. We thought that text and name calling would be the worst and the name calling is the worst but we were surprised to see that the physical bullying is one of the WORST bullying in the school and that it will need to  be stopped.
