The Development of Short Film Entitled “Kursi Kosong”: Media to Prevent Bullying

Abstract

Bullying is a severe issue in the educational setting. Bullying is one of three primary educational challenges that must be abolished. According to UNICEF data from 2021, 21% of kids aged 13-17 years had been bullied, and however, this percentage does not entirely characterize bullying behavior at school. Bullying is only the tip of the iceberg. The purpose of this research is to create a short video called "Kursi Kosong" to reduce bullying among junior high school pupils. This research and development employ the Borg and Gall paradigm with modifications. There are two validators that helped to verify feasibility: the media validator and the material validator. Then, a field experiment was done on 12 guidance and counseling teachers to determine the practicality from the user's perspective. Based on the study findings, the media validator assigned a score of 16 in the "feasible" category and 6 in the "feasible" decent category. This demonstrates that the short film "Kursi Kosong" is worth further testing, particularly on guidance and counseling teachers. Tests on 12 guidance and counseling teachers scored 491 in the "highly agree" category.
