    (Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, 2018) Pinzón Pinzón, Angela Liliana; Forero Romero, Aracely
    The repeated physical and psychological abuse over an indefinite period of time of students, in or outside the classroom, has always existed. Today, it has new characteristics related to the scope of bullying, the means by which it is carried out, the new language used, and the use of social media instead of physical attacks. This study hopes to encourage research that will generate new information about the characteristics of the growing phenomena of school violence through the use of ICTs that will allow us to glimpse the real picture of the problem and to focus on actions that are concrete and pertinent to the context under study. The research is funded by the research group SIMILES of the ICT Master’s Program applied to education sciences. The methodology was developed through the quantitative method. The study group consisted of 421 students enrolled in urban public educational institutes in the municipality of Duitama in grades six, nine, and eleven. The instrument used for collecting the information was a modified version of Ortega, Calmaestra and Mora-Merchan’s (2007) cyberbullying questionnaire with a reduced number of items and an adaptation of the questions to the Colombian context. A univariate and bivariate analysis of the results indicate the prevalence of cyberbullying in the Duitama public educational institutes. Finally, an ICT tool called “Cyberlab of Peace” was designed, a website to determine the prevalence of Cyberbullying in high schools through the use of an online questionnaire that identifies the climate of coexistence among students and enables administrators to propose action strategies for risks that may arise.
