However, many teachers have difficultydiagnosing bullying, do not know how to cope with bullying, or havetrouble applying coping methods. This study aims to introduce the inserviceteacher training program to prevent peer bullying. This programwas developed using a problem-centered education program design. Thecontent was determined with a thematic approach. The valuesemphasized by this program, the tools and methods it proposes, and theoutcomes of the program reflect the progressive and existentialistperspectives.
