LANZILLOTTI, Alejandra Inés  and  KORMAN, Guido Pablo. Buenos Aires Teachers’ Knowledge and Identification of Cyberbullying. RMIE [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.78, pp.817-839. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this study is to determine the proportion of elementary and secondary school teachers in the city and province Buenos Aires, Argentina, who know and identify various types of cyberbullying described in international literature. A second aim is to determine the proportion of teachers who believe they have sufficient tools to approach the problem of cyberbullying, and to define teachers’ need for specific training. The results indicate that although many teachers identify different types of cyberbullying, many believe they have insufficient tools for intervening in such cases. Another observation is that some teachers confuse cyberbullying and grooming. The article discusses the findings and suggests offering specific information about the problem.

Keywords : bullying at school; cyberspace; teachers; Argentina.
