Gerakan Anti Bullying : Edukasi dan Sosialisasi untuk Menciptakan Lingkungan Sekolah yang Aman dan Nyaman di SD Lab Universitas Negeri Gorontalo

Abstract

Bullying is a serious issue that frequently occurs in elementary schools and has negative impacts on students’ emotional, social, and psychological development. National data indicate a high prevalence of bullying cases in primary schools, many of which remain unreported due to a lack of awareness and understanding. This community service activity aims to increase awareness, understanding, and prevention of bullying behavior through educational and socialization programs at SDN LAB Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. The methods employed included observation, discussions with school stakeholders, needs analysis, preparation of educational materials, implementation of socialization activities, as well as evaluation and monitoring. The program involved 70 students from grades IV, V, and VI, using an educational and interactive approach through material presentations and games. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the types of bullying (verbal, physical, social, and cyberbullying), the negative impacts of bullying, and the importance of empathy and courage to refuse and report bullying behavior. The activity also received positive responses from the school. Therefore, this bullying socialization program is expected to contribute to creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive school environment for optimal character development of students
