"Say No to Bullying" Socialization Program as a Bullying Prevention Effort at SD N 3 Teluk Pandan

Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the implementation of the "Say No to Bullying" socialization program conducted by Universitas Lampung KKN students at SD N 3 Teluk Pandan as an initiative to increase bullying awareness among elementary school students.

Methodology: A qualitative descriptive approach was used involving observation, educational intervention, and postactivity evaluation with 45 fourth-grade students, focusing on interactive education about bullying types, impacts, legal consequences, and reporting mechanisms.

Results: The activity was successfully implemented with high student participation and positive responses from both students and school staff. Observations indicated improved understanding of bullying forms, consequences, and prevention
strategies.

Conclusions: Structured, interactive anti-bullying programs through KKN community service effectively improve elementary students’ knowledge and awareness of bullying, supporting the development of safer, more respectful, inclusive, supportive, violence-free, empathetic, collaborative, positive, and child-friendly learning environments.

Limitations: The study relied on observational evaluation without standardized pre-test and post-test instruments. It was also limited to a single school and lacked long-term follow-up assessment.

Contribution: This study contributes to community service and bullying prevention literature by showing that KKN-based educational interventions are a practical and cost-effective way to increase anti-bullying awareness in elementary schools.
