The study aims to reveal the relationship between secondary school students' digital literacy levels, social media usage purposes, and the frequency of experiencing cyberbullying. A relational model was used in the research. The sample of the study consists of 476 secondary school students between the ages of 10-13. "Digital Literacy Scale," "Social Media Usage Purposes Scale," and "Cyberbullying Threat Level Scale" were used to obtain the data. T-test (Mann Whitney U), ANOVA (Kruskal Wallis), and correlation analysis were used in the study. The findings showed that students' digital literacy and the use of social media for interpersonal interaction and lesson preparation are moderate. Regarding the results of the cyberbullying scale sub-dimensions, their witnessing, exhibiting, and exposure to cyberbullying was observed to be low. Finally, there are moderate positive relationships between secondary school students' digital literacy levels and social media usage for interpersonal interaction and lesson preparation purposes. In addition, digital literacy has a weak positive relationship with being exposed to and witnessing cyberbullying. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' DIGITAL LITERACY LEVELS, SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE PURPOSES AND CYBERBULLYING THREAT LEVEL

The research data was obtained from Ph.D. students, lecturers, Ph.D. thesis and Ph.D. programs. The qualitative data were collected through questionnaires, and document analysis to achieve triangulation. The descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the qualitative data for four phases. The study identified the most commonly used statistical techniques which are descriptive statistics, correlation, t-test and analysis of variances.

This study aims to reveal how high school and university students use metaphors to talk about universities.Adopting a phenomenological research design in our study, we collected qualitative data from 182 high school and 252 university students. After collecting data, we performed a content analysis to assist us in developing relevant codes and themes for the metaphors used by students. The content analysis allowed us to devise the following themes for the metaphors cited by high school students: universities' being a personal development center, a place to prepare for and start life, a center of knowledge and learning, a social and cultural hub, a center for career development, freedom, a place that fosters happiness, and a place that is difficult to access.The themes for university students' metaphors were: universities' being center for a personal development, a place to prepare for and start life, a center for knowledge and learning, a social and cultural hub, a center for career development, freedom, missed expectations, and a place that fosters happiness and a feeling of belonging. Our study revealed certain differences in how high school and university students regarded universities. Using the findings of our study, university administrators can revise their visions and services to fit the themes emerging from this study.
