Abstract

This paper reports on the impact of a service-learning program to prevent online hate speech perpetration among students in secondary education. Developed by the Spanish Volunteering Platform, the three months intervention used a quasi-experimental with cluster randomization design with 74 students (aged 13.28 ± 0.36 years) from a public high school in Madrid, Spain. Multivariate regression (Model 10) showed significant effects for coping skills (β = -0.974, p < 0.05) and LGTBI phobia (β = 0.631, p < 0.05), with an R-square of 50.9 and an adjusted R-square of 42.7, with a moderate effect size (d = 0.33). It is recommended that service-learning programs be implemented and adapted in school settings as an effective strategy to prevent online hate speech perpetration among secondary school students, emphasizing the need to strengthen methodological rigor and expand the reach of such interventions to maximize their impact.

在中学教育中，以服务学习作为防止网上仇恨言论的策略

本文报告了一项服务学习计划的影响，以防止在线仇恨言论在中学教育学生中犯下。由西班牙志愿服务平台开发，为期三个月的干预采用准实验聚类随机设计，来自西班牙马德里一所公立高中的74名学生（年龄13.28±0.36岁）。多元回归（模型10）显示，应对技能（β = -0.974, p < 0.05）和LGTBI恐惧症（β = 0.631, p < 0.05）有显著影响，r平方为50.9，调整后r平方为42.7，效应量为中等（d = 0.33）。建议在学校环境中实施和调整服务学习计划，作为防止中学生在线仇恨言论犯罪的有效策略，强调需要加强方法的严谨性，扩大此类干预措施的范围，以最大限度地发挥其影响。
