Cybermobbing im Primarschulbereich

Eine qualitative Untersuchung des Umgangs von Lehrpersonen mit Cybermobbingfällen

Abstract

The experience and the ways of reaction of teachers at Viennese primary schools with regard to concrete cases of cyberbullying among pupils were investigated with guideline-based interviews and structuring content analysis. The teachers interviewed were most likely to choose talking to the participants as a method of dealing with cyberbullying cases. External parties were not consulted and existing tools were not used. Existing conflicts were not dealt with appropriately. It can be assumed that the bullying could have been prevented in three out of five of the cases investigated with timely intervention. In one case, not only children were involved in the bullying, but also their parents.
