The students who study in the faculties of education of three state universities constitute the research population. The research sample consisted of a total of 557 students; 237 from A university, 197 from B university and 123 from C university. As a data collection tool, The Bully Index scale, which was developed by Smith and Hoy (2004), and was adapted to Turkish students by Kale (2019) was used in this study. Cronbach's Alpha scale of reliability coefficient was found to be .94. The scale has a single factor (Student Bullying) and explains 72% of the total variance. Factor load values of 8 items in the scale ranged from .56 to .83. The data collected were tested for normal distribution and found to be normal. All questions were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA. When the results were examined, it was seen that there was a significant (p <.05) difference between at least two groups regarding bullying levels.
