Goals
Cyberbullying is also a big problem at primary school level and a heavy burden for affected pupils. Besides parents, teachers are the first contact persons or witnesses. The qualitative study asks five selected teachers whose classes have been affected by bullying about their ways of dealing with it and their strategies. The study thus opens up a very sensitive and hitherto hardly researched area.
