Edukasi Anti Bullying dalam Menciptakan Lingkungan Belajar yang Kondusif di Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

Bullying is one of the issues that can hinder the creation of a safe and comfortable learning environment for elementary school students. Behaviors such as teasing, giving unflattering nicknames, mocking, and ostracizing peers are often still considered jokes, so education is needed to improve students’ understanding and awareness. This community service activity aims to improve students’ understanding of the definition, forms, and impacts of bullying; encourage them to report bullying incidents to teachers; and foster mutual respect and empathy among students. The activity was conducted at SDN 14 Data Baringin, Jorong Data Baringin, involving 19 students from grades 1 through 5. The program consisted of two sessions, held once a week, using an educational outreach approach through lectures, discussions, and role-playing. The material covered the definition and forms of bullying, its psychological, social, and academic impacts, the roles of teachers and parents, and how to address and report bullying. Evaluation was conducted through observation of students’ understanding, responses, participation, and behavior. The results showed an increase in students’ understanding of the forms and impacts of bullying, their willingness to report incidents, and their attitudes of respect and empathy. This program made an initial contribution toward creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming learning environment for students.
