This research aims to analyze the incidence, manifestations, and factors associated with cyberbullying among upper elementary school students in Ecuador during the year 2024, providing a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and contributing to the development of effective prevention and mitigation strategies in education. This study will be conducted using a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The combination of both approaches will allow for a more complete and enriching understanding of the cyberbullying phenomenon. Selecting a representative sample of 24 ninth-grade students from the Esmeraldas Province Educational Unit, who were surveyed using Google Forms, from which detailed qualitative information could be obtained on the experiences and perceptions of students regarding cyberbullying, these data collected served to carry out a descriptive statistical analysis of the subject of study, with the conclusions that cyberbullying is a significant problem in the student population studied, taking into account that cyberbullying occurs in many forms on social networks or the media, threatening the integrity of the student population, which is why the active participation of all educational actors, students, parents, teachers and educational authorities is essential in order to raise awareness of this problem in the student population
