Implementasi Sosialisasi Anti-Perundungan untuk Meningkatkan Kesadaran Siswa-Siswi SDN 01 Asinan

Abstract

Bullying is a problem that still occurs in elementary school settings and impacts students’ emotional and social development, as well as their self-confidence. A lack of understanding regarding the line between playful teasing and bullying behavior underscores the need for preventive education starting at an early age. This community service activity aims to raise awareness among students at Public Alementary School 01 Asinan regarding anti-bullying behavior through interactive education, the “butterfly hug” reflection exercise, and participatory evaluation. The methods included an informational session on the definition, types, impacts, and prevention of bullying, followed by a “butterfly hug” reflection exercise, and an evaluation through observation of student engagement, teacher interviews, and the “Tree of Expressions” activity. The results of the program showed an increase in students’ understanding and recognition of different forms of bullying, a growth in empathy, and greater courage among students to report bullying to teachers, as well as a reduction in the frequency of verbal taunts in the school environment. These findings indicate that a combination of education, reflection, and student engagement is effective in fostering a safer, more inclusive, and bullying-free school culture. Thus, this program is worth developing as a sustainable preventive measure in elementary schools.
