Description
Bullying in schools is a persistent challenge, with limited visibility into the underlying social dynamics, making effective intervention difficult. Spekter Digital offers a comprehensive tool for Norwegian schools to systematically monitor and investigate bullying. By utilizing non-anonymous surveys, Spekter provides schools with detailed and actionable insights about the classroom environment. Unlike anonymous methods, this approach allows direct identification of relational issues, enabling targeted and timely interventions.
The results from Spekter surveys are automatically visualized as sosiograms and bar charts, giving schools a clear, immediate overview of the social dynamics in the classroom. These visual tools help educators quickly identify patterns, such as isolated students or conflict groups, and enable more precise and effective interventions.
Spekter Digital comes in two versions: one for general preventive monitoring of the learning environment and another for deeper investigations when there is concrete suspicion of bullying. As a result, students have a safe and structured way to report concerns, knowing their voices will be heard.
In practice, schools using Spekter experience increased transparency, better communication with parents, and more efficient resource utilization. The structured feedback loop supports a proactive stance, helping to resolve issues before they escalate, ultimately fostering a safer and more inclusive school environment. The rationale behind and the use of Spekter will be presented. Gulset secondary school will share their experience in using Spekter and their enhanced ability to monitor and detect social dynamics and to intervene more appropriately.
