摘要：Teacher-directed violence (TDV) by students is a growing concern in Western Australia(WA) with 8,500 students suspended in 2017 for committing TDV. This studyinvestigates the prevalence of TDV reported by WA primary and secondary teachers, aswell as the associations between TDV and gender, education sector and Socio-EconomicIndexes for Areas (SEFIA) of school locations. Participants included 56 primary andsecondary teachers in WA who completed an anonymous survey about their experienceswith TDV over the past two years. The results revealed that 67.9% of participants hadexperienced TDV at least once in the past two years. Furthermore, a significantrelationship was detected between TDV and gender, education sector and SEIFAindexes. Combined, this information should direct future research and school policyrelated to TDV.
