Abstract

Self-concept is a fundamental psychological pillar during late childhood that shapes how individuals perceive their physical, psychological, and social attributes. Initial observations at SDN X West Jakarta revealed that most fifth-grade students encountered difficulties in articulating their strengths, weaknesses, and personal characteristics verbally during classroom discussions. Therefore, this Community Engagement (PKM) initiative was conducted to facilitate students' exploration and recognition of their self-concept through a projective-creative animal drawing activity titled the "Knowing Myself" program. The activity involved 41 fifth-grade elementary students aged 10–11 years who were guided to draw three different animals as metaphors representing physical characteristics, personality traits, and daily routines. Program achievement was evaluated using a descriptive qualitative approach based on worksheet completion, artwork presentations, and guided reflection sessions. The results demonstrated that 87.8% of the students successfully achieved the completion criteria in identifying and narrating the three dimensions of self-concept through the behavioral metaphors of their chosen animals. Symbolic animal drawing proved to be an effective, recreational, and psychologically safe concrete medium for elementary school children to articulate self-identity without evaluation anxiety. This program serves as a practical initial screening tool for elementary school educators to recognize students' psychosocial dynamics at an early stage. ABSTRAK Konsep diri (self-concept) merupakan pilar psikologis fundamental pada masa kanak-kanak akhir yang memengaruhi cara individu mempersepsikan kapasitas fisik, psikologis, dan sosialnya. Berdasarkan observasi awal di SDN X Jakarta Barat, sebagian besar siswa kelas V masih mengalami kesulitan dalam mengartikulasikan kelebihan, kelemahan, serta karakteristik kepribadiannya secara verbal saat ditanya guru. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dirancang untuk memfasilitasi eksplorasi dan pengenalan konsep diri siswa melalui aktivitas proyektif-kreatif menggambar hewan bertajuk program "Mengenal Diri". Kegiatan ini melibatkan 41 siswa kelas V berusia 10–11 tahun yang dipandu untuk menggambar tiga jenis hewan sebagai metafora representasi aspek fisik, sifat, dan kebiasaan sehari-hari. Evaluasi ketercapaian program dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif berdasarkan ketuntasan pengisian lembar kerja (worksheet), presentasi karya, dan refleksi akhir. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 87,8% siswa berhasil mencapai kategori tuntas dalam mengidentifikasi dan menarasikan ketiga dimensi konsep diri melalui analogi karakteristik hewan pilihannya. Aktivitas menggambar simbol hewan terbukti menjadi media konkret yang efektif, rekreatif, dan aman bagi anak usia sekolah dasar untuk mengekspresikan dinamika diri tanpa beban psikologis. Program ini berimplikasi sebagai strategi penapisan awal (screening) praktis bagi pendidik untuk mengenali kondisi psikososial peserta didik sejak dini.
