Abstract

Bullying is a serious issue that disrupts the educational atmosphere, harms students' welfare, and negatively affects the teaching and learning process. SMKN 9 Muaro Jambi, located in Jambi Province, faces the possibility of experiencing this problem. To address it, concrete actions are necessary, and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) presents an efficient and suitable solution for antibullying campaigns. The objective of this community service program was to provide training for intra- and extra-school organizations at SMKN 9 Muaro Jambi on utilizing ICT to combat bullying. This training aimed to enhance participants' understanding of the importance of ICT in preventing bullying while equipping them with the skills to implement effective antibullying campaigns using technology. The expected outcomes included increased awareness of the negative impacts of bullying and the participants' roles in prevention, as well as improved knowledge and practical skills in using ICT tools such as digital content creation and social media for spreading antibullying messages. The results indicated that participants significantly improved their understanding of bullying and demonstrated enhanced abilities in utilizing ICT for antibullying campaigns. Feedback indicated that participants felt more confident in applying the skills they had learned, which contributed to a safer and more inclusive school environment. This initiative aligns with the broader educational goals of using technology to improve the quality of learning and student well-being, suggesting that ICT-based approaches can be an effective and sustainable solution for addressing bullying in schools.
