Abstract
Bullying is a moral problem, a form of disrespect expressed by an intentional and repeated act of intimidation or oppression, with physical and / or verbal aggression without apparent motivation, caused by one or more students, causing pain, distress, humiliation and discrimination against the victim. This research analyzes the role of education professionals in this phenomenon by investigating their conceptions of bullying. The responses of participants in the extension course "Moral Development for Children", offered by Unesp in São José do Rio Preto, to the question "What is bullying?" served as basis for the mentioned analysis. All the subjects of the research perceive the bullying as something disrespectful and that causes damage to the relations, even if they are only limited to some characteristics of the phenomena. It is important, however, that educational professionals have more knowledge about how to intervene to promote the awakening of moral sensitivity in students.
