Abstract

A comparative study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching program on Cyberbullying among students in selected Secondary Schools and colleges of Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The study was conducted in partial fulfillment for the award of degree of B.Sc. Nursing at Apollo institute of Nursing, Gandhinagar. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching program on Cyberbullying among students in selected Secondary Schools and colleges of Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The ‘General system model’ adopted from Ludwg Von Breatalanaffy was used as the conceptual framework. A quantitative approach with quasi experimental study design was used to achieve the objective of the study. The samples consisted of 96 students of selected school and colleges of Gandhinagar, each. The samples are divided into two groups, 48 students from secondary school and 48 students from college. The simple random. Sampling technique was used to collect the sample. A structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of students of selected schools and colleges and the tool was found reliable. Data gathered was analyzed and interpreted using both experimental and inferential statistics. The mean on knowledge of Cyberbullying before the planned teaching program in pretest in school and college is 15.27 and 17.34 respectively whereas the mean of posttest, after the planned teaching program was 22.55 and 19.53 in school and college, respectively. The calculated “z” value was 12.72 and 3.83 for school and college respectively. Hence there  is no evidence against null hypothesis. The result strongly suggests that students are acquainted well with Cyberbullying after the administration of planned teaching program.
