Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the urgent demands for illegal filming prevention education among elementary, middle, and high school teachers teaching students in South Korea. Methods: A total of 749 elementary, middle, and high school teachers participated in this study. The data were collected using a questionnaire, administered by a research center. Results: Approximately 96.0% of participants recognized the necessity of education on prevention illegal filming. However, 73.2% reported that such education was being implemented, with 81.0% indicating its integration into other school violence prevention programs. The highest demand for illegal filming prevention education was related to understanding legal responses and reporting procedures for such incidents (mean score of 3.78 out of 5), followed closely by the need for immediate help-seeking and response strategies in cases of victimization (mean score of 3.79). Female participants expressed significantly higher demands compared to males (t=-2.60, p=.010), while other general characteristics showed no significant differences in the demand for illegal filming prevention education. Conclusion: There is a gap between the recognized necessity and implementation of illegal filming prevention education, which is largely integrated into school violence programs. Participants showed higher demand for practical education on legal responses and immediate victim assistance. Findings of this study indicate that comprehensive and targeted programs are essential to meet these educational needs effectively.
