Conference Object Examination of The Relationship Between Bullying and Screen Addiction among Primary School Students(2023) Günel, Uğur; Ergün, NaifBullying is defined as the intentional and persistent negative actions towards one or more individuals. The report of UNESCO in 2019 indicated that one out of every three students going to school is exposed to bullying. For overcoming this problem, most countries are conducting research, enacting laws and implementing prevention interventions. In order to develop the interventions related to bullying, it is important to know the causes and effects of the problems. Research has already indicated many factors such as demographic variables, school type, school environment and class and etc.. Recent studies have emphasized effects of negative content in technology usage on bullying. Screen addiction, which is called excessive and obsessive use of screen tools, is a current term that can be used for types of technology based addictions such as internet, computer-game, television, social media, smartphone addiction. The last few years with the Covid-19 pandemic, the technology usage has significantly increased among young people specifically children. Scholars believe that such a usage of technology may cause technology based addiction. The possibility of an increase in bullying among children has also been considered as a result of exposure to high usage of technology devices. For this reason, this study aims to examine the relationship between the level of screen addiction and bullying tendencies among primary school students. In order to examine the aim of the study, the correlational survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was applied. Before conducting the study, ethical approval was obtained from the Scientific Research and Publishing Ethics Committee of Mardin Artuklu University. In addition, in March-2023, data were collected from both students and their parents after the necessary permissions were obtained from provincial directorate of national education in Mardin, three primary schools in Mardin and parent of the students. A total of 448 students, 226 boys and 222 girls, participated in the study. According to the findings of the study, positive and low correlation was found between students' bullying tendencies and screen addiction levels. This result may be a situation where the role and control of parents over their children of this age is more effective. Controlling contents of technology during usage may prevent children from negative outcomes of technology and this may reduce level of bullying among primary school children.Article Internet Usage Experiences of Primary School Students: A Phenomenological Study(2023) Günel, Uğur; Ergün, NaifThis study deals with primary school students’ experiences with the Internet use to examine the potential risks of Internet use at an early age. To achieve this, a qualitative phenomenological study was designed. The criterion sampling technique was used to determine the study group. The group was composed of 16 thirdand fourth-grade students studying at a public school in the province of Mardin during the 2022–2023 academic year. In the study, data were obtained with a semistructured interview form. Thematic analysis technique was used to analyze the data. The findings of the studyindicated that the primary school students who were interviewed used the Internet with single and multiple digital screens for action, sports, and intelligence games; for content on sites such as YouTube, Netflix, and TikTok; for doing homework and research on Google; and for course applications. It has been found that there are no harmful internet sites that are consciously entered, although sexual content, paid, or infected sites are accidentally entered. It has been concluded that the knowledge of children at an early age about the possible harms of the Internet is at a low level. It is thought that informative guidance studies should be carried out on the conscious use of technology and the Internet for all stakeholders that make up society.
