Afriendly: M-Health App as Strategy to Avoid Bullying

Abstract:

The following research paper deals with the technology in mobile phones to identify school bullying in students who are constantly raped, which can be reflected verbally, psychologically, physically, and virtually through social networks. The study focuses on verifying the use of technology in health and harassment in schools by identifying conflicts between teachers and students and between students, in order to create an application to generate empathy in the classroom. The type of methodology is experimental–exploratory analyzing causes and effects, whilst the quantitative approach that attempts to arrive at a deductive process predominates. With regard to the collection of information, the questionnaire is used as a tool and the survey as a technique for students in the ninth grade of basic general education, as is the T.A.M. method (technology acceptance model). Therefore, the “AfriEndly” application proved satisfactory within the research according to the T.A.M. method, which revealed that the technology is accepted within the study population.
