Abstract

The development of digital technology has significantly transformed the way people access political information, particularly through social media, which has become increasingly dominant among university students. This study aims to analyze the role of the Meet Nite Live program in improving the political understanding of Political Science students in the digital era. The study employs a qualitative approach using the agenda setting theory as an analytical framework to examine how media shapes audience attention and interpretation of political issues. The analysis focuses on five aspects: issue salience, presentation style, intensity of exposure, transfer of salience, and meaning-making effects. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving fifth-semester students of the Political Science Program at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Bangka Belitung. The findings reveal that Meet Nite Live contributes to enhancing students’ political understanding through communicative, contextual, and accessible presentations of political issues. The emphasis on topics such as corruption, geopolitics, and public policy increases students’ attention toward political matters, while repeated exposure through digital platforms strengthens their comprehension. Furthermore, the program encourages critical thinking and raises students’ awareness of socio-political realities. This study demonstrates that social media functions not only as a source of entertainment and information but also as an effective medium for political education in improving the political literacy of young generations in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe junior high school students' experiences and perceptions of bullying in Pangkalpinang and to examine how these experiences construct the social meaning of bullying through George Herbert Mead's symbolic interactionism. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, complemented by thematic analysis of students' responses to open-ended questions. The study involved 324 students from five junior high schools in Pangkalpinang. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations), while qualitative data were analyzed thematically using Mead's concepts of significant symbols, meaning, self, role-taking, significant others, and the generalized other. The results showed that verbal and relational bullying were the most frequently experienced forms of bullying. Although students generally perceived school policies and anti-bullying measures positively, many remained reluctant to report or intervene in bullying incidents. The qualitative findings revealed that bullying is socially constructed through interconnected processes of symbolic interaction, meaning construction, self-formation, role-taking, the influence of significant others, and the generalized other. This study concludes that Mead's six central concepts operate not as isolated analytical categories but as a dynamic sequence of social processes through which bullying is socially produced, reproduced, normalized, and potentially transformed. These findings provide a sociological perspective for strengthening school-based bullying prevention.
