Abstract

In today’s technologically enhanced and changing world, incidents of cyberbullying are increasing and it is a reality that impacts children and adults. Educators need to be able to identify cyberbullying, implement effective management strategies that align with school policies, as well as engage in pro-active programming for prevention. This article proposes a cyberbullying conceptual framework that can be used as a tool to investigate cyberbullying. The framework is grounded in the literature that was analysed using a constant comparison method for purpose of identifying current and emerging themes and indicators for each of the key elements. The paper finishes with a discussion about the application of the Cyberbullying Conceptual Framework for Educators. This conceptual framework is important to educators given it helps to deconstruct the complex concept of cyberbullying and to construct praxis approaches for identification, management and prevention of cyberbullying.
