Description
Summary:Schools today are being faced with numerous disciplinary challenges. Aggressive behaviour has become more common in the school environment, and it continues to escalate in terms of the target and manner in which it is expressed, which is why this problem cannot be ignored. Teachers, including religious education teachers, have become more commonly the target of aggression.  It is difficult to estimate the level of student aggression towards teachers, as the latter often choose not to report abusive behaviour by students.  The aim of the article is to raise the awareness of the position of religious education teachers in terms of aggressive behaviour by students.  The article includes the author’s own research, which illustrates the school reality in the context of aggressive behaviour by students towards religious education teachers.
