HE EFFECT OF BULLYING EDUCATION USING AUDIO-VISUAL MEDIA ON STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES AT SDN 108 PEKANBARU

Abstract

The prevalence of bullying issues in schools has been increasing over time. The impact of bullying behavior on victims can affect both their physical and psychological well-being, with some victims even experiencing depression and becoming socially withdrawn. The importance of bullying education is crucial to reducing incidents of violence in schools. Education about bullying is not only important to prevent bullying actions themselves but also to understand the psychological consequences experienced by the victims, perpetrators, and witnesses. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of bullying education using audiovisual media on students' knowledge and attitudes at SDN 108 Pekanbaru. This study is quantitative, with a quasi-experimental design (Quasi-experiment method) using a one-group pre and post-test without control design. Sampling in this study was determined using total sampling, where the sample size is the same as the population. The instrument used was a questionnaire on knowledge and attitudes. The results of the statistical test for the pretest and posttest showed a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that H0 is rejected, which indicates that there is an effect of bullying education using audiovisual media on the knowledge of students at SDN 108 Pekanbaru. The researcher recommends conducting a study comparing the effectiveness of audiovisual media with other media (such as books, posters, or group discussions) in educating students about bullying.
