Impact of Cyberbullying and Research Design

The focus of the research on the impacts of cyberbullying in academic performance of learners will be on what has been experienced in the past by various individuals as well as the challenges that parents and educational authorities have faced in addressing cyberbullying. For this reason, the study will use both quantitative and qualitative data. In the case of the quantitative data, the study will review any secondary materials to examine the effects of cyberbullying on academic performance of learners.

Several individuals in the education sector will be interviewed to supplement the information from secondary sources. As such, the study will adopt the descriptive research design based on its significance in indexing study variables, provision of answers to various research questions, as well as its importance in the collection of appropriate data (Mitchel & Jolly, 2010). In addition, the descriptive study design is necessary in this study since large amount of data will be needed in order to have valid and reliable findings
