What are the implications of the study?

In completing this digest, the authors began to ask the following questions about implications for practitioners:

researching pupil perceptions can be a powerful way of developing both pupils' and teachers' understanding of pupils' beliefs, knowledge and attitudes. Would carrying out and sharing the results studies of perception with pupils help to influence their behaviour and understand its implications for their peers
could your school do more to encourage children to behave prosocially (with kindness and responsibility) for example, through sport, through buddying systems for the playground, through helping younger pupils or disadvantaged groups in the community (see where can I find out more)?
does your school know all it needs to know about the extent of bullying (how much is taking place, where and when it occurs etc)?
would finding out more about pro and antisocial behaviour help your school to promote prosocial behaviour and to plan approaches to PSHE and the school culture? For example, do girls in your school feel that boys behave prosocially less often, and if they do, are they failing to observe and reinforce boys’ attempts at prosocial behaviour, or are boys over estimating the prosocial behaviour of other boys?
