Abstract

Bullying is a critical issue in schools that negatively affects students' emotional, social, and academic well-being. Victims of bullying often experience aggression, frustration, and long-term psychological distress. Efforts to mitigate bullying require educational interventions that promote awareness and empathy. This community service program was conducted at UPTD SD Negeri 5 Parepare to enhance students' understanding of bullying and its impacts. The intervention involved an educational session covering the definition, types of bullying (physical, verbal, relational, cyber, and prejudicial), its consequences, and strategies for prevention and intervention. Interactive discussions were also included to encourage student participation and reflection. The program effectively increased students' awareness of bullying, its negative effects, and the importance of fostering a respectful and inclusive school environment. Participants demonstrated improved understanding and engagement in discussions about preventing bullying. The findings highlight the significance of educational programs in shaping students' attitudes toward bullying prevention. Continued implementation of such initiatives is essential for promoting a school culture that prioritizes empathy, respect, and support among peers. This community service program successfully enhanced students' knowledge of bullying and encouraged positive behavioral changes. Future initiatives should expand the scope and frequency of such activities to ensure long-term sustainability in bullying prevention efforts.

Abstract

Self-confidence plays a vital role in children’s psychological development and influences their academic, social, and emotional achievements. However, many elementary school students struggle with low self-confidence, which can hinder their learning motivation and personal growth. This community service program was conducted at UPTD SD Negeri 5 Parepare to enhance students’ self-confidence through a social-educational intervention. The program was designed with three stages: preparation, implementation, and reflection. Activities included interactive and reflective learning experiences adapted to the students’ developmental levels. The materials addressed self-awareness, setting realistic goals, positive self-talk, stepping out of the comfort zone, maintaining appearance, building positive social environments, and learning from experiences. The implementation revealed significant improvements in students’ engagement, self-expression, and self-awareness. Pre- and post-activity reflections indicated that students became more confident in participating, expressing ideas, and interacting with peers. The findings suggest that integrating social and educational strategies into character education can effectively foster self-confidence among elementary students. This program demonstrates the potential of social-educational interventions to strengthen personal growth and learning motivation in young learners.
