Pencegahan Dan Penanganan Bullying Di Sekolah Melalui Pendidikan Karakter Berbasis Islam

Abstract

Bullying is a serious issue in educational settings, negatively affecting students’ psychological, social, and academic development. This community service project aimed to prevent and address bullying in schools through an Islamic character education approach. The methods included counseling, discussions, and training for fifty students and five teachers (three teachers and two class teahers) at Baitul Arqam Islamic Boarding School, Aceh Besar. The materials covered the types and impacts of bullying, along with the integration of Islamic values such as ukhuwah rahmah, tawadhu, and empathy. The results indicate that this approach effectively raised students’ awareness to act positively, respect others, and avoid bullying behavior. Teachers also played a key role in instilling character values through learning activities. Therefore, Islamic character education proves to be a strong preventive strategy in creating a safe and harmonious school environment and fostering a generation with noble character.
