It seems like everyday there is some new social media platform out, and who knows what will be out there in the next 4 years when I graduate and become a teacher. We need to be aware and educated on what is going on with students in the "cyber-world"to be able to address these issues. This study was helpful to me, even though it did not talk about the effects of cyberbullying in the classroom, because it opened my eyes to who is most likely to be invovled with cyberbullying.

Improvements

I would have liked to see in this study how cyberbullying, both perpetrators and victims, effects students learning in the classroom. I also think this study could have been improved by conducting it outside the LAUSD with different demographics of students (private and/or charter schools.)

Authors Findings

My Question

Participants reported that

  • 6.6% were victims of Cyberbullying
  • 5.0% were perpetrators of Cyberbullying
  • 4.3% were both victims of Cyberbullying and perpetrators

Authors findings Continued

1285 Middle-School students from Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) were given a survey through the Center for Disease Control

and Prevention’s Youth Risk Behavior (YRBS.)

  • 1 in 3 LGBQ students reported some sort of cyberbullying
  • Students who spent 3 or more hours online were more likely to be involved in cyberbullying compared to their peers that spent less time online
  • Cyberbullying was more common in girls, compared to schoolyard bullying which is more common in boys

Among middle-school students who is most likely at risk to be involved in Cyberbullying, and are there preventative measures we can take as teachers to prevent it?

Authors Question

How was the Study Conducted?

Is there correlations between gender, race, sexual identity,

and technology use, and cyberbullying among middle-school students?

  • The LAUSD gave out a 27 supplemental questionnaire to those in grades 6-8.
  • The students could choose from 5 responses:
  • Never,
  • Once or twice
  • A few times
  • Many times
  • Every day

  • Out of 1320 students, 1285 completed the questionnaire yielding a response rate of 97.3%.
