Cyber Bullying Among Secondary School Students / Ortaokul Öğrencileri Arasında Siber Zorbalık
Abstract
With the diversification of communication technology, its widespread use among students and the increase in social media opportunities, the cyberbullying behaviors that students are exposed to have greatly increased. Easy access to social media and technology, difficulties in control in this area and student characteristics cause cyberbullying to increase and this situation causes significant disciplinary problems at school and in the classroom. Cyberbullying not only causes disciplinary problems at school, but also creates serious psychological and psychosomatic effects on students, causing them to be deprived of their educational rights. The aim of this study is to examine the cyber bullying among secondary school students and the attitudes of teachers against cyber bullying. For this purpose, 10 teachers and 2 managers working in Antalya were interviewed. In the interview, questions regarding the definition and instruments of cyber bullying, and the duties of all actors in case of cyber bullying were asked. Collected data were qualitatively analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that teachers perceive cyberbullying tools as internet in a general definition. It was concluded that students exposed to cyberbullying are anxious and nervous, withdrawn, fail, fear, and exhibit general depression behaviors. According to the participants, when a student is exposed to cyberbullying, teachers first try to communicate with the student.
