Methodology & assessment

The course adopts a qualitative methodology to explore cyberbullying from the contextual perspective of various actors involved in the process (both students and teachers). The semi-structured interview method will be used. As a part of methodology, we aim to cover all of the outlined topics during the semi-structured interviews, not in a predetermined order but rather following the flow of respondents’ narratives. The interviewers adopt a non-evaluative attitude and refrain from judgments and interpretations during the interview to assure safety and openness of the respondents who describe their experiences concerning highly sensitive topics. The methodological approach also includes: Think‐Pair‐Share; Reciprocal Teaching; Think‐Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS); Group Grid; Group Writing Assignments; Brainstorming; Group discussion; Group survey; Critical debates; Peer aggression/victimization questionnaire; Cyberbullying survey; Define a Question to Investigate; Make observations and collect data; Make Predictions; Come up with a hypothesis; Gather Data; Analyze the Data; Draw Conclusions. Participants will apply Cooperative Learning methods and will work together in groups on a structured activity. They will be individually accountable for their work, and the work of the group as a whole will be also assessed. Cooperative groups will work face-to-face and learn to work as a team. In small groups participants will have a chance to share strengths and also to develop their weaker skills.

At the end of the course, each participant will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance along with Europass Mobility.

Our certificates are in line with the Erasmus Quality Standards and so include the course's title, short description of its learning outcomes (if requested), dates, venue, the name of the course provider and the course director, number of training hours.
