Abstract

Kemajuan teknologi informasi membawa dampak signifikan terhadap pola interaksi sosial di kalangan siswa. Media sosial tidak hanya menjadi sarana komunikasi dan ekspresi diri, tetapi juga membuka peluang munculnya fenomena negatif seperti cyberbullying. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memanfaatkan media sosial sebagai sarana edukasi anti-bullying bagi siswa sekolah. Program dilaksanakan di SMP Negeri 1 Wanayasan melalui pendekatan partisipatif yang melibatkan siswa dan guru dalam bentuk penyuluhan, workshop literasi digital, serta praktik pembuatan konten kreatif berbasis media sosial. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman siswa mengenai bentuk, dampak, dan pencegahan cyberbullying. Siswa mampu menghasilkan konten edukatif berupa poster digital dan video singkat yang dipublikasikan melalui platform media sosial sekolah, dan mendapat respon positif dari teman sebaya. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa media sosial efektif digunakan sebagai sarana edukasi anti-bullying karena mampu meningkatkan literasi digital, menumbuhkan empati, serta memperkuat kesadaran kolektif di lingkungan sekolah. Walaupun dampak langsung terhadap penurunan kasus bullying belum dapat diukur secara menyeluruh, program ini menjadi langkah strategis dalam membangun budaya sekolah yang aman, inklusif, dan bebas dari praktik perundungan.

Review

The submitted work, "PENGGUNAAN MEDIA SOSIAL SEBAGAI SARANA EDUKASI ANTI-BULLYING BAGI SISWA SEKOLAH," addresses a highly pertinent issue in contemporary education: leveraging digital platforms to combat bullying, particularly cyberbullying. Given the pervasive nature of social media among students and its dual potential for both communication and harm, the study's objective to utilize social media as an anti-bullying educational tool is both timely and commendable. The abstract suggests a successful community engagement program that effectively integrated digital literacy with anti-bullying initiatives, providing a practical demonstration of how technology can be harnessed for positive social impact. A significant strength of this project lies in its participatory approach, involving both students and teachers through a combination of lectures, digital literacy workshops, and hands-on content creation. This methodology not only enhanced students' understanding of cyberbullying's forms, impacts, and prevention but also empowered them to actively produce educational content, such as digital posters and short videos. The positive peer response to these student-generated materials, published on the school's social media platforms, strongly supports the efficacy of social media as an engaging and relevant medium for education. The abstract highlights improved digital literacy, fostered empathy, and strengthened collective awareness within the school environment as key outcomes. While the program clearly demonstrated success in increasing student understanding and content creation, the abstract prudently acknowledges a limitation: the direct impact on the overall reduction of bullying cases could not be comprehensively measured. Future iterations or research could benefit from incorporating more longitudinal studies or quantitative metrics to assess the long-term behavioral changes and actual decrease in bullying incidents. Nevertheless, this initiative represents a crucial strategic step in cultivating a safe, inclusive, and bullying-free school culture. The findings provide valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking innovative ways to address social challenges in the digital age, underscoring the potential of carefully designed social media interventions.
