Abstract

Bullying is a social problem that can negatively affect the psychological and social development of elementary school students. Therefore, preventive efforts are needed through systematically designed and continuously implemented psychoeducational activities. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of fourth-grade students at SDN Gunungsari No. 587 regarding bullying through an anti-bullying psychoeducation program accompanied by regular mentoring. The method employed was a quantitative approach using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The instrument consisted of comprehension questions covering the definition, types, impacts, and prevention of bullying. The program was implemented through interactive material delivery, singing  anti-bullying songs,  expression tree  activities, experience jar activities,  an anti-bullying declaration, and teaching assistance for four weeks. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test. The Shapiro–Wilk test indicated that the pre-test  (p =  0.690)  and post-test (p  =  0.184) data  were  normally  distributed  (p  > 0.05).  The homogeneity test showed homogeneous variances for pre-test (p = 0.093) and post-test (p = 0.065), meeting the assumptions for conducting the t-test. The results revealed an increase in the mean score from 58.132 in the pre-test to 82.842 in the post-test, with an improvement of 24.71 points or 42.5%. These findings indicate that the anti-bullying psychoeducation program was effective in improving students understanding of bullying. In addition to cognitive improvement, the regular mentoring activities also supported students social-emotional development. Thus, anti-bullying psychoeducation can serve as an effective preventive strategy in creating a safe and bullying-free school environment
