Teacher Victimization in Philippine College of Science and Technology

Anyone can be victims. Victimization may
happen either with or without the knowledge or
permission of the person to be victimized by the
perpetrator. It can occur even when attending school. In
line with this, not only are students at risk of being
victimized at school, but teachers may also become
victims. The objective of this study is to determine teacher
victimization in Senior High School in the Philippine
College of Science and Technology (PhilCST). The study
used a descriptive survey and data gathered was tabulated
and statistically treated using frequency, percentage, and
ranking, weighted mean, and one-way ANOVA. As a
result, the profile of victimization of senior high school
teachers are mostly verbal assault happening in school
premises by students and it happened at least once; the
factor that contributes to the victimization is their
attitude/personality; and the effect of victimization on
their wellbeing is less severe in psychological, emotional,
and social while there is no impact on the physical being.
It was concluded that Senior High School teachers in
PhilCST are not exempted from victimization; chances of
victimization may depend on the victims’ attributes
toward their assailant, and the severity of victimization
does not cause much impact.
