The article delves into the issue of combatting cyberbullying in educational environments, particularly in light of the growing influence of digital resources on individuals’ social interactions. It highlights the inadequate response of educators to cyberbullying incidents due to their limited digital skills. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of information competencies, media literacy, and programming capabilities for prospective teachers. The study assesses the tools required to cultivate information competencies in students throughout their educational journey, examining the characteristics, indicators, and manifestations of cyberbullying, as well as their correlation with social media and underlying causes. The article encompasses a content analysis of the survey titled «The significance of digital literacy skills in preventing cyberbullying in a modern environment,» along with an evaluation of students’ creative work. The findings from the analysis of students’ work underscore the need for researchers to explore methodologies for engaging with social media and developing resources to instill digital skills for preventing cyberbullying. Students pay great attention to the technique of information literacy in the educational process. The study reveals that both full-time and par4t-time students attach significant importance to technical media literacy in their work. Nonetheless, it concludes that digital literacy alone is inadequate for preventing cyberbullying. Consequently, the utilization of WebQuests in education is recommended as a means to combat cyberbullying. Furthermore, integrating WebQuests into the classroom environment enables students to enhance their information competence in the digital realm by simulating scenarios to address bullying and intimidation situations.

The article addresses the issue of cyberbullying among university students and their level of digital etiquette. Cyberbullying is one of the significant challenges of contemporary digital society, negatively affecting students' psychological well-being and academic performance. The possibilities of preventing cyberbullying through the development of digital etiquette are explored, emphasizing the importance of students mastering norms of online behavior, avoiding aggression, and refraining from negative comments. Teaching digital etiquette fosters respectful attitudes toward others, protects personal data, and promotes the establishment of a safe online environment. The authors analyze various types of cyberbullying, as well as its psychological and social consequences, highlighting the importance of creating a safe digital environment in educational institutions. The principles of digital etiquette and their connection with cyberbullying prevention strategies are examined. The study, using a survey-based method, investigated students‘ perceptions of cyberbullying and digital etiquette, as well as the frequency of their encounters with cyberbullying in the digital space. The research results revealed that while students have formed certain perceptions and attitudes toward cyberbullying and digital etiquette, there is a need to develop digital skills further and enhance digital literacy. The authors propose introducing an elective course, ―Digital etiquette and Cyberbullying,‖ into the curriculum to better prepare future educators and psychologists for their professional activities.
