Abstract

The purpose of this article is to characterize the level of victimization
of 3226 students from basic and middle education, in Bogotá, Colombia;
this was achieved by taking the student´s perception about the episodes
of abuse exerted on them by some of their teachers. The instrument
applied “bullying of students by their teachers”, assesses 20 potential
aggression situations from the teacher towards the students. We present
results of the descriptive statistical analysis of the data, using item response
theory. The results obtained in this research indicate that, although
rare, students are victims of abuse by some teachers.
