PENANAMAN SOCIAL SKILLS DALAM PEMBELAJARAN IPS UNTUK MENCEGAH BULLYING PADA PESERTA DIDIK KELAS VII

Abstract

This study was motivated by the continued presence of bullying behavior among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 15 Semarang, including verbal, social, physical, and cyberbullying, which is linked to the students’ low social skills. The study aims to examine the implementation of social skills development in social studies instruction to prevent bullying, the integration of social skills into the social studies learning process, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with informants including Social Studies teachers, guidance counselors, and seventh-grade students from classes VII C and VII E. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study indicate that social studies teachers have implemented various learning strategies, such as group discussions, role-playing, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), and a personalized approach, to instill social skills in students. The development of social skills is also integrated into the planning, implementation, and evaluation of social studies instruction through materials related to everyday social life. This implementation has a positive impact on communication skills, cooperation, empathy, and responsibility, as well as reducing bullying behavior in the school environment. Supporting factors for this study include school culture, anti-bullying programs, and teacher involvement, while inhibiting factors include time constraints, differences in student personalities, lack of family support, and the influence of the environment outside of school.
