Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers’ and educational administrators’ awareness about adolescents’ cyber bullying/cyber-victimization experiences. The study was conducted with 727 educational administrators and 916 teachers working at 74 public schools. In addition to Demographic Information Form, participants were asked to complete Cyber Bullying Awareness Scale developed by the researcher based on the related literature. Findings of the study indicate that while 53.2% of educational administrators and 47.6% of teachers had heard the concept of cyber bullying, 58.7% of educational administrators and 58.3% of teachers had known the concept. 51.7% of educational administrators and 65.4% of teachers did not conduct any kind of preventive activities against cyber bullying. Also, it was found that 6.3% of educational administrators and 7.6% of teachers were exposed to cyber bullying.

This study was derived from the doctoral dissertation.
