Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Cyberbullying Awareness Level

"Cyberbullying Awareness Scale" will be used to determine students' cyberbullying awareness levels. Regarding the consistency of the scale, Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.89. As a result of the clustering analysis, it was found appropriate to cluster the total score to be obtained from the scale as 21-61, 62-81, 82-105, and it was stated that the score range of 21-61 can be expressed as low, 62-81 as medium and 82-105 as high cyberbullying awareness. Those who will fill in the cyberbullying awareness scale mark their level of agreement with each statement in the scale between the options (1) strongly disagree and (5) strongly agree. A minimum score of 21 and a maximum score of 105 can be obtained from the scale.

Time frame: Before and 3 months after the Cyberbullying Awareness Training.
