Abstract:
The aim of this research is to examine teachers’ cyberbullying awareness level of
students’ cyberbullying/cyber victimization experiences and online technologies selfefficacy
in terms of various variables and to determine the relationship between
teachers’ cyberbullying awareness level and online technologies self-efficacy. The
research was conducted with 486 teachers at secondary and high schools in Silivri,
İstanbul. At the research carried out by relational scanning and ex post facto models,
Personal Information Form, Teachers’ Cyberbullying Awareness Scale and Online
Technologies Self-Efficacy Scale were used to collect data. Data analysis was done
using descriptive statistics, parametric and nonparametric tests and Pearson
Correlation Technique. Teachers’ cyberbullying awareness level is fairly high. There is
a significant difference in terms of variables such as gender, attending an
occupational development seminar on cyberbullying, being targetted at cyberbulling
and witnessing cyberbullying in their social environment. Teachers’ online
technologies self-efficacy scores are also high. There is a significant difference in terms
of variables such as gender, field of study, seniority, having a child, having a social
media account, connecting to internet via mobile phone, internet use frequency out
of work, daily time spent on internet out of work and witnessing cyberbullying in their
social environment. There is low-level, positive, meaningful correlation between
cyberbullying awareness level and online technologies self-efficacy.
