<![CDATA[Bullying is one of the prominent social problems that significantly impacts the psychological well-being and academic development of elementary school students. This study aims to explore the implementation of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies in addressing bullying behavior among fifth-grade students at SD Inpres Pannujuang, located in Bajeng Barat District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the integration of SEL strategies such as fostering self-awareness, managing emotions, enhancing social skills, and encouraging responsible decision-making effectively reduces the frequency and intensity of bullying while promoting healthier peer relationships.

This study concludes that SEL can be systematically embedded into classroom instruction and teacher professional development as a preventive approach to bullying in elementary schools.]]>
