Info

For both parents and teachers, a consent form was displayed as the entry page to the online survey and consent to participate indicated via checking an “I agree” box. Only a check in this box allowed progression through to the survey. Reminders were distributed by email lists, newsletters, and school bulletins, and in staff meetings (for teachers) a number of times. THE SURVEY The questionnaires were adapted from leading international cohort studies such as the PEW Internet and American Life Projects, The National Schools Board Association study on socially connected behaviours of young people, the EU <strong>Kids</strong> online project, and the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (USA). The online harassment questions were adapted from the Australian Covert Bullying Prevalence Study (Cross et al., 2009). Given the speed of internet use and technology changes some of the questions, including the bullying questions, were altered or extended to include up-to-the-minute changes in cyber use and popularity of particular activities. The student questionnaires covered the same topics, and in most cases were identical but were tailored to developmental needs of students spanning grade 4 to year 12 (e.g. the Adolescent Internet Addiction Scale was only administered to students in year 9-12). The questionnaire covered and included the following examples: General internet use What do you do on the internet? – homework, blog, play games, chat on gamesites, instant message, shop, download music/videos, seek help, MySpace/bebo/facebook. What sort of personal information have you put on the internet? – full name, school name, address, email, phone number, bank or credit card details. Monitoring and Controls of internet use Are there rules in your home about using the internet? – i.e. only kids websites, net nanny, filters, supervision, length of time Are there rules in your school about using the internet? – i.e. filters, school policies or contracts, supervision Do you know how to get around these filters/blocks or rules? Problem use Have you ever found something horrible, worrying, or frightening on the internet? Where did you find this and did you tell someone about this? Have you met new people online that you don‟t know in real life? How do you talk with them? Have you been asked to meet them in real life? Compulsive Use (grade 4-8) or the Adolescent Internet Addiction Scale (year 9-12) adapted by Dr Reid from The Internet Addiction Scale of Nichols & Nicki (2004) I think about the internet/email/msn a lot when I‟m away from it 12 LMCP Bendigo Region Report
When I feel upset, I get on the internet to make me feel better I have tried to spend less time on the internet but I don‟t seem to be able to. Online Harassment: both victimisation and perpetration Has anyone put something on the internet about you that you did not like? i.e. photos and videos Have you been blocked by your friends from IM or other internet chat sites? Have you spread nasty emails or IM about someone else? Understanding the legal issues of internet use There are no rules on the internet? True or false Things you do on the internet can‟t be traced? True or false 13 LMCP Bendigo Region Report
