This paper is based on a study of
fourteen Norwegian K
-
12
teachers who have been violated
by students in
schools. One key theme emerged during the process of analysis
: the threat to
the
teachers’ self.
This threat appears to be intensified due to lack of support.
The f
indings in
this small
-
scale Norwegian study indicate that student
-
to
-
teacher violation can h
ave a serious
impact on teachers
’ perceptions of
their individual and professional self. The findings disclose
that
the
teachers’ self is affected leading to changed, weakened and di
srupted experience of
teachers
’
self
-
understanding. This knowledge
may
inf
luence how teachers can continue
working
when critical incidents
occur
.
