Character Education Management: Implementation of Anti-Bullying Learning Media in Elementary Schools

Abstract

Bullying remains a serious problem in elementary schools. Bullying can take both verbal and nonverbal forms, such as teasing, insults, exclusion, and even physical violence. The negative impacts of this behavior include a decreased enthusiasm for learning, impaired student psychological health, and weakened social relationships. Bullying is a common problem in elementary schools and negatively impacts student development. This community service activity aims to reduce bullying behavior through the implementation of character-based learning media, which are integrated into school education management. The program was implemented at SDN Tanjung Barat 04 Pagi, South Jakarta. The methods used included observing media needs, creating learning media (anti-bullying banners, educational posters, and symbol stickers), and declaring an anti-bullying project to students and teachers. The results of the activity showed that students understood the forms of bullying, actively participated in activities, and the school environment became more conducive with the installation of visual learning media. In conclusion, the implementation of simple learning media can increase student awareness of the dangers of bullying and support the formation of a more positive school culture through effective character education management. The educational management approach here involves planning, implementing, and evaluating anti-bullying programs to create a safe and inclusive learning environment.
