Abstract

The rapid technological advancement of the 21st century has significantly impacted various sectors of life, including education. One phenomenon that has emerged is the increasing use of gadgets among elementary school students, raising concerns about its effects on students' character development. This study aims to explore the influence of gadget use on the character of fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Danakerta. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study collected data through interviews with students, teachers, and parents, as well as direct observations of student behavior. The findings reveal that excessive gadget use negatively affects students' discipline, social skills, and empathy. Students who frequently use gadgets tend to have reduced peer interaction, lower social skills, and less adherence to academic tasks and school behavior rules. In response, both the school and parents have implemented strategies such as limiting screen time and encouraging more social interaction. This study emphasizes the importance of more structured management of gadget use both at school and at home and highlights the need for strengthened collaboration between parents and teachers to support positive character development in students.

Abstract

Bullying remains a recurring challenge within school environments, shaping children's emotional and academic well-being in complex ways. In Indonesia, particularly in rural primary school contexts, limited research has examined how children themselves interpret and make sense of their bullying experiences. This study aims to explore the forms of bullying experienced by rural primary school students and to examine how these experiences influence their emotional and academic well-being. Adopting a qualitative phenomenological design, this study involved six children aged 10–12 years who had experienced bullying in rural primary schools. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews with children, supported by interviews with teachers and parents, as well as classroom and playground observations. The data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings indicate that bullying is experienced through verbal, physical, and social practices embedded in everyday peer interactions. These experiences negatively affect children's emotional well-being, manifested in fear, anxiety, emotional suppression, and social withdrawal, and undermine academic well-being through reduced motivation, concentration, and self-confidence. Supportive relationships with teachers, parents, and peers emerged as important protective factors that helped children sustain emotional stability and engagement in learning. This study highlights the importance of developing context-sensitive and supportive interventions to address bullying and promote student well-being in rural primary school settings.
