Özet: This research aims to examine the impact of physical bullying on the academic achievements of 8th graders in mathematics. Another purpose of the study is to compare the incidence rates of physical bullying in different countries and examine the effect of physical bullying on achievement in different countries. TIMSS 2019 student data, which is available to everyone and can be downloaded from the TIMSS database, was used in the study. The study group was selected by a two-stage method among the students who participated in the TIMMS 2019 exam at the eighth-grade level. The selected countries are the UK, Turkey, and Qatar. 10927 students (3144 students from the UK, 4009 from Turkey, and 3774 from Qatar) constitute the study group. In this study, the relationship between bullying and academic achievement was examined using the correlational research method, which is one of the quantitative research methods. According to the findings, it was found that there was a statistically significant and negative relationship between the frequency of bullying and student success. Another finding is exposure to physical bullying by country. The results revealed that Qatari students were most likely to be physically bullied, while British students were the most unlikely to be physically bullied. Recommendations for parents, students, and school administrators are also included in the study to mitigate the impact of bullying in schools.
