The present study aimed to compare bullying behavior, school bonding and social competence in the bully and pro-bully students. The subjects were 80 elementary school boys selected by purposeful sampling, cluster random sampling and screening methods. Measurement instruments include the Illinois Bullying Scale, Peer Nomination Form, Teacher Nomination Form, Participant Role Scale, School Bonding Scale and Self-report Scale for Social Competence. The results of a Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) revealed that mean scores of bully and pro-bully students for the sub-scales of bullying behavior (bullying and fighting) were not significant. Also, no significant difference was found between the bully and pro-bully students for the sub-scales of school and teacher attachment, and school involvement of school bonding. Mean score of pro-bully students for the sub-scale of prosocial behavior of social competence was significantly higher than bully students. In addition, mean scores of the pro-bully students was significantly lower than bullies for the sub-scale of disruptive behavior of social competence. The findings indicate the importance and the role of negative perceptions of social competence have on the incidence of bullying at school. Limitations and implications are discussed.

Achieving real goals of in-service teachers training is one of the major problems of the educational systems. In Iran, despite many efforts, both direct and indirect evidence about the effectiveness of in-service teachers training do not show an efficient and satisfying results. As expecting to reforms in this field by officials and experts is increasing. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the teachers' experiences of motivational factors in the quality of in-service primary training. This is the qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. To achieve the research purpose, 20 primary school teachers in Ahar region were selected by purposive sampling method and studied. Research tools include observation, semi-structured interviews, open-answer written questions and review of the conducted investigations related to the topic of this research. The Findings from the teachers' experiences that are based on coded data and extracted themes show we can summarize the important motivational factors in quality of in-service training in four main themes: intrinsic motivation, teacher qualifications, subject characteristics and environmental incentives. Research findings shows the necessity of attention to various factors in the evaluation of in-service training that be considered as the main criteria of quality and efficiency by teachers. Accordance of programs with the teachers’ expectations and needs as the main audience of in-service programs will improve overall efficacy of these programs.
