Abstract
The article deals with the problem how to prevent cyberbullying in the educational environment, which is currently relevant due to the increasing influence of digital resources on our social life. The authors describe the specific characteristics and features of bullying, including economic, psychological, social, physical and cyberbullying. According to the statistics there is inaction in bullying situations in the educational environment. This is due to the insufficient level of digital skills of modern teachers. Digital skills is a cluster of above-professional competencies that includes media literacy, programming and artificial intelligence, modeling, design and robotics as well as technical literacy. In this regard the research problem is identified as finding the tools to form above-professional competencies of future teachers in the educational process. The authors analyze the causes, forms and features of cyberbullying which are determined by the specifics of the Internet environment. The article presents the results of content analysis of creative works of the future teachers under the topic "Recommendations for working with children exposed to cyberbullying". The analysis of the works showed that only 10% of the students include measures related to working in the Internet space in their recommendations. The authors also propose to discuss the results of a study aimed at development of digital skills of the future teachers, since their level of proficiency affects the quality of tools helping to prevent cyberbullying. The results of the study showed that students, both full-time and part-time, note high importance of media literacy and technical literacy of their work or study. At the same time they realize that the level of proficiency in digital skills is currently insufficient to prevent cyberbullying. As one of the tools for preventing cyberbullying the authors suggest using web quests. During the training sessions, future teachers learn not only to develop web quests, but also to model scenarios for getting out of situations related to bullying, thereby developing their professional competencies in the digital environment.
