Abstract

Bullying in physical, verbal, or social forms negatively impacts students’ mental health and academic success, necessitating systematic prevention efforts. This study aims to describe the strategies used by Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers to prevent bullying at Simeulue Tengah State Junior High School (SMP). The research adopted a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted over three months, from August to October 2025. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation involving six key informants, including BK teachers and student council (OSIS) administrators, supported by school records. The results indicate that BK teachers combat bullying through awareness campaigns about its negative effects during student admissions, OSIS activities, religious programs, and extracurricular events. They also offer personal and persuasive counseling to both victims and perpetrators while promoting the values of togetherness, tolerance, cooperation, and the courage to report. Additionally, student and OSIS involvement is vital in maintaining a safe and inclusive school environment. This collaborative approach involves principals, teachers, students, and OSIS members to foster a positive, violence-free school climate. The study concludes that sustainable bullying prevention is achievable through collaboration, policy integration, and nurturing positive values within the school community.

Abstract

Technology integration in schools continues to face challenges related to inadequate infrastructure, unstable internet connectivity, and gaps in teachers’ digital competencies. This study aims to explore teachers’ perceptions and acceptance of technology use in enhancing professional competence amid these constraints in junior high schools. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study was conducted at SMPN 1 Salang and SMPN 4 Salang, Simeulue Regency, over a three-month period. Eight participants, including principals, teachers, and school administrators, were selected using purposive sampling based on their direct involvement in educational technology use. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teachers’ reception of technology is reflected in three key aspects: participation in technology-based training, shifts in attitudes from resistance to acceptance, and self-initiated learning activities. Despite these positive responses, teachers’ efforts remain constrained by limited technological facilities, uneven internet access, and varying levels of digital literacy. The study concludes that positive teacher reception plays a crucial role in strengthening professional competence, although sustained institutional support through continuous training, supportive policies, and infrastructure development is essential to optimize technology integration in schools.
