Abstract
The goal of this research was to examine which bullying prevention programs are implemented in elementary schools across the Osijek Baranja County territory and what kind of efficiency they have. We used a survey questionnaire which was specially designed to meet the purpose of the research. The research was conducted with professional associates (pedagogues and psychologists) in 67 elementary schools of Osijek-Baranja County. The results show that most of the County’s schools (91%) do implement some of the bullying prevention programs. The results also suggest that schools which implemented programs continuously for many years in a row estimate bigger decrease in bullying. According to the results obtained there is no statistically significant difference in the estimations of efficiency between schools with respect to the duration of the program. Also, schools with more different groups of participants involved in the implementation do not estimate bigger success of the prevention program in comparison to schools with fewer different groups of participants.
