THE EXPERIENCES OF CYBERBULLYING ACROSS EDUCATIONAL LEVELS

Abstract

Cyberbullying has emerged as a pressing concern in the contemporary educational landscape, as technology increasingly intertwines with academic pursuits. This research undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the experiences of cyberbullying, specifically targeting two distinct educational levels: high school (SMA/SMK) and university students. Employing a rigorous survey study methodology, the research endeavors to unravel the nuanced dynamics of cyberbullying across these educational stages. The primary objective is to shed light on the prevalence, manifestations, and psychological impact of cyberbullying, recognizing the potential variations in this phenomenon across different levels of education. The data collected through the questionnairebased approach was subjected to detailed analysis, offering valuable insights that can inform educational policies, interventions, and support mechanisms tailored to the specific needs of students at various educational junctures.
