The working groups that took part in the group interview had 
8-10 active participants at an average. The group interview 
took place directly in schools; one meeting lasted about 220 
minutes. The characteristics of the groups are presented in a 
graphic design based on gender (Graph 4, Graph 5) and the 
highest level of education achieved (Figure 2, Figure 3) in the 
following graphic design.

When comparing gender heterogeneity in the research groups, 
we conclude that Group A is represented 1:5 in favour of 
women, Group B is represented 1:14 in favour of women.

When comparing the highest educational achievement, it could 
be stated that both groups have a comparable representation. 

The lowest number of educators achieved only secondary and 
higher education of the 3rd degree. 

 

3 Research findings 

 

3.1 Research findings (elementary schools) 

 

Based on interviews with educators (Na = 69) from general 
elementary schools, we present the following findings based on 
the four factors mentioned above. 

 

3.1.1 The presence of latent aggression in class collectives. 

 

Interviews with educators confirmed the occurrence of latent 
aggression, although its increase or decrease cannot be 
objectively assessed. Up to 47% of educators admit latent 
aggression, but they do not have the means to prevent this form 
of aggressive behaviours. They used own experience to point 
out to insufficient knowledge abilities. To a greater extent, 
educators have verbalized the problem of detection and, based 
on experience, have also demonstrated their concerns, e.g.  

 

It was in communication with the pupil  

̶  victim, who did 

not manage recalcitrant problem and came to tell about 
it to the new colleague, who just joined
  

 

         [R5 / 1PS / 42]. 

We did not reveal it, it was just a coincidence, even if the 
educational counsellor says something else  

 

  [R1 / 2PS / 55]. 

 

We have no means of revealing it - what do we do to them? 
Will we write them worse assessments in behaviour report 
cards? They laugh and rag. The teacher no longer has the 
position he had ever had, even when dealing with problematic 
pupils, and overall ... [R2 / 4PS / 57]. 

 

Educators think that if they had sufficient and effective means 
(in terms of effective sanctions), and information about latent 
aggression (how to reveal it and what is needed to observe), it 
is probable that latent aggression in school would be detected 
and eliminated. 

 

3.1.2 Pupil as part of integrated education 

 

Interview with teachers was designed to know the status of 
integrated pupils, more precisely; pupils with special 
educational needs in the classroom. The testimony suggests 
that the inclusion of a pupil with disabilities in intact 
collectives is a common matter, but the training of community 
does not exist yet.   

 

The responses of healthy pupils to the inclusion of the 
disabled ones seem to be at the first glance positive, but 
there are also individuals trying to "hide" their reactions, 
but I know they have not accepted this child. Then, 
problems will start and problems will be exacerbated.  

 

  [R2 / 4PS / 57]  

In our case, each individually integrated one was 
problematic, either in behaviour or in learning. It even 
happened that he was the initiator of class aggression.  

 

  [R4 / 4PS / 31]. 

The most frequent victims of hidden aggression were pupils 
with cognitive and health handicaps. Educators state that 
hostility to disadvantaged children comes from the family 
environment. I do not dare to talk about the parents 'reactions, 
but I did not catch any negative reactions from them, except 
some parents’ comments during parents' associations 
meetings. Those comments were more than unpleasant, 
especially when the parent of this pupil left and the discussion 
started about him without him (...) when I remarked that it  was 
inappropriate, one of them told me: “don´t take it too 
seriously, the whole class will be lazy, because teachers pay to 
Patrick all attention. I don't know when our children will catch 
up on, they don't know anything, and they have no homework
