Abstract

This Student Creativity Program (PKM) aims to improve elementary school students’ understanding of the importance of early bullying prevention. The activity was conducted at SDN 1 Singapadu Kaler, Gianyar, Bali, targeting first and second-grade students. Initial observations revealed that students had limited knowledge about bullying. To address this, an educational approach was implemented using interactive methods such as video screenings, group discussions, and role-playing. A descriptive qualitative method was used, with data collected through observation, teacher interviews, and simple pre- and post-tests. The results showed a 35% increase in student understanding and a stronger attitude in rejecting bullying behavior. This program contributed to fostering a safer school environment and strengthening positive character from an early age.

Abstract

Teaching and learning activities at SD Negeri 11 Dauh Puri Denpasar apart from focusing on academic activities, also carry out non-academic activities such as arts and sports. The implementation of non-academic activities is still considered less than optimal due to the lack of supporting human resources so that students have a lot of free time. With space to fill arts, culture and sports activities, the Japanese Literature Study Program PKM team carried out a program related to Japanese culture, namely the traditional Japanese martial art, Aikido. It is considered good to introduce Aikido to elementary school students because apart from having elements of martial arts, it also has elements of art and culture. Aikido is a type of self-defense with empty hand techniques in the form of locks, throws, attacks, defenses, defenses both in standing and sitting positions. Apart from that, there are also techniques for using weapons in the form of wooden swords, wooden sticks and wooden knives. Aikido, which is a martial arts sport, is important to introduce to students at SDN 11 Dauh Puri because apart from physical training, it is also mental training. The aim of this PKM activity is to fill students' free time on Saturdays with Aikido training for physical, mental training and introduction to foreign cultures. Aikido martial arts does not only emphasize physical attitude, but also a strong spirit to balance their academic and non-academic skills to continue their education at a higher level.

Abstract

The community service partner in this article is elementary schools in West Denpasar District. This activity aims to help partners find solutions regarding student adequacy because the partner is a school with the smallest number of students compared to schools in the West Denpasar District. Based on the analysis, the team designed a school profile video. Profile videos are an effective medium for promotion. The content of the video profile consists of the school's vision, mission, history, and facilities. The results of this community service activity would become an inventory of school facilities and infrastructure as promotional material on social media. The method used in making the video is the observation method with recording and interview techniques. The making video process was divided into several steps. In the first step, the implementation team made observations by observing the surrounding conditions and interviewing one of the teachers at this school. This activity aims to make the material into a video. The second step is to cover the video by recording videos of school conditions and school facilities. The third step is the process of making and editing the video. The video is a product of this community service activity. This video was uploaded on partner social media to introduce the school to the community. This video is a promotional tool for actively sharing content on media sites. The results of this service activity have a long-term impact because it takes time to determine the effectiveness of the video in efforts to equalize students in West Denpasar District.
