The Purpose and Significance of My Action Research

The purpose of my proposed action research study:
I plan on researching bullying in schools. I would like to find out more about successful anti bullying programs in other similar schools. How did they get started? What techniques do they use that have made them successful? What obstacles have they run into? How do they differentiate anti bullying tactics for physical, emotional, and cyber bullying?

The significance of my proposed action research study (who will benefit and how will they benefit):
The information gathered from this research will benefit most of the stakeholders of the school, most importantly the children. I would like to implement a program that is deemed most likely to have success with the bullying problem at my school. Hopefully the children at the school will be taught ways to deal with bullies and bullying and alternatives to being a bully. I realized that bullying has existed in schools since the beginning. I just feel at this point our school isn’t doing anything about it and some type of program is better than nothing.
