In elementary school, female students feel happier than male students

According to Queen's University research in Belfast and University of Ulster, more than half (about 26%) of 7-year-old boys are completely happy when they go to school, lower than 44% of female students.

The study, titled The Kid's Life and Times, proves that male students in Northern Ireland are less happy than girls in learning skills in reading, writing, spelling, working and going to school. The study also found that only half of male students in the second grade think that their students are bullies.

About 3,440 students in the second grade participated in Kid's Life and Times research. This is considered the first time that 2nd graders have the opportunity to present their opinions on issues that affect learning, such as feeling of happiness in school, health and testing of seat changes.

The research was conducted by ARK, a comprehensive study conducted by the cooperation of two universities. And research was presented at Queen's University on Friday, 10/10/2008. The data of the study show that:

1. 84% of female students, compared to 76% of male students, said they were happier at primary school.
2. 44% of female students and 26% of male students are completely happy to go to school.
3. 51% of children think that children in their schools are often bullied, 5% think that students in schools are repeatedly bullied and 46% of students are less bullied.
4. 22% of children say they are psychologically affected at school.
5. 10% of children say they are very experienced in being bullied by text messages or on the Internet.
6. 44% of children want to move and 35% want to escape from that situation.

Only about 19% of children are less pressured when displaced, 23% feel there is no pressure problem and 55% feel both states. 43% of children say they create feelings of fear.

Dr Katrina Lloyd of Queen's University said: Public and mass media often discuss this topic and argue strongly about bullying in schools and the future of relocation. sit. Meanwhile teachers are less interested in whether their students want to be relocated. Kid's Lige and Times research has given children the opportunity to speak out about their views on how to affect their feelings. This study also provides valuable insights into the experience of children in life. The difference between the number of men and women in terms of feeling happy at the school and about a quarter of children in the second grade age said they were often under psychological pressure at school once again making education people think Think carefully before issuing rules for children.

Professor Gillian Robinson of Ulster University said: The years of elementary school often affect the development of the child's personality - not only in the learning process but also their future future. It is really important in our way of education, making it easier for children to be guided to the future and without being pressured to go to school. I'm sure this study will help bring the message to educators in making decisions that can affect thousands of children in school. This study can be widely released and will send a copy to each elementary school across Northern Ireland.
