School Counselors' Perceptions of Cyberbullying
Abstract
This was a qualitative study which examined school counselors’ perceptions of cyberbullying. Thirty two school counselors were asked seven reflection questions in regards to their experiences, roles/responsibilities, concerns, challenges and recommendations in handling cyberbullying occurrences with students. From the data analysis, three predominant themes emerged that were essential in better understanding the school counselors’ perceptions. These themes were Training, Education, and School Policies in cyberbullying.
