Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a digital bullying screening instrument (DBSI) for school counselors to detect, assess, and monitor bullying behaviors among students. While traditional paper-based instruments have limitations in real-time monitoring and scalability, a web/mobile platform provides faster, more reliable, and accessible tools for early intervention and data-driven counseling. The study addresses the research gap in digital assessment tools that integrate psychometric validity, usability, and practical feasibility in school settings. A mixed-methods approach was employed. The study included 350 students from urban and suburban schools, selected using stratified random sampling. The instrument was developed based on literature review and expert consultation, followed by content validation, pilot testing, and refinement. Psychometric properties, including internal consistency (Cronbach’s α), test-retest reliability (ICC), and construct validity, were assessed. Usability and feasibility were evaluated through surveys and structured interviews with school counselors. Statistical analyses included exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis. The DBSI demonstrated high internal consistency (α = 0.89), stable test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.87), and a three-factor structure representing verbal, social/relational, and cyberbullying behaviors. Counselors reported the instrument as easy to use, time-efficient, and supportive of intervention planning. Prevalence data highlighted cyberbullying as the most common form among participants, consistent with previous research.The study confirms that digital tools enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of school-based bullying assessments, supporting early detection and targeted interventions. Limitations include sample restriction, self-report bias, and short-term implementation, which may constrain generalizability. The DBSI offers a validated, scalable, and technology-integrated solution for school counselors. Future research should investigate long-term intervention outcomes and adaptation for rural or low-connectivity contexts.

Abstract

The development of early childhood independence requires active parental involvement supported by structured and practical guidance that can be applied in everyday home environments. This study aims to develop a parent-oriented module to optimize early childhood independence and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness in improving parents’ understanding. This research employed a Research and Development approach involving stages of needs analysis, product design, development, validation, and field testing. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, observations, and pre-test and post-test assessments. The results of the needs analysis indicate that parents require practical and structured guidance to support children’s independence at home. The developed module was validated by experts and categorized as valid with minor revisions. User responses in both small- and large-scale trials show that the module is highly acceptable and feasible for independent use by parents. Furthermore, the effectiveness test reveals a significant improvement in parents’ understanding, as indicated by an increase in the mean score from 52.00 in the pre-test to 80.75 in the post-test, supported by statistical analysis showing a significant difference (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the module is effective as a practical learning resource that enhances parental involvement and supports the development of early childhood independence.
