Abstract
One of the most significant concerns facing educational institutions nowadays is the issue of online harassment, which poses a significant threat to the well-being of students and educators. To analyze its prevalence and underlying roots, a scoping review was conducted, sourcing 386 articles using EBSCO and Scopus databases. After rigorous screening, 52 articles were considered significant from 2014 to 2024. Three key themes emerged: the dynamics and nature of online harassment, its impact on individuals and the school community, and technology's role in facilitating and preventing it. The researchers noticed and established relationships between themes through a systematic literature review and thematic analysis. Findings from this suggest that educational institutions must formulate and implement targeted programs addressing the underlying factors of online harassment. This emphasizes the need for comprehensive strategies leveraging technology in preventing and addressing online harassment. Given the rapid development of technology, continuous observation of the nature of online harassment, and the development of timely and relevant interventions and policies focused on digital citizenship in educational institutions are crucial in ensuring a safe and positive online environment for students and educators.
