Abstract: Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive survey study was to measure, from the perspective of teachers and administrators,
the level of school violence among secondary level students in all scho ols in Al Qasr Directorate of Education in
Kerak, Jordan. Both gender and experience were used as the variables of this study. An 18 item questionnaire
was developed and distributed to school teachers and school administrators. A total number of (216) part icipants
completed the survey questionnaire. Findings showed that the degree of school violence was moderate. However,
the results from the viewpoint of teachers highlighted an important association between school violence and
gender (but not experience), whereas there was no link between school violence and either gender or experience
from the administrators point of view. The study recommended emphasizing the role the school administrators
and teachers play in reducing the phenomenon of school violence.
