Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the efforts made by teachers to reduce bullying in the educational environment and to create a higher-quality learning atmosphere. The study employs a reference-based research method. Bullying is any intentional form of oppression meant to cause harm, whether physical or verbal. Among students, bullying remains widespread and poses a significant obstacle to their development and potential. Therefore, the role of teachers is crucial in reducing bullying cases. Teachers can take various actions, such as conducting outreach to prevent bullying, implementing the 5S approach (Salam, Senyum, Sapa, Santun, Sopan - Greetings, Smiling, Welcoming, Politeness, and Respect), and using teaching methods that discourage and address bullying. Most importantly, open communication between students, teachers, and parents is essential. The research results indicate that teachers play a key role in reducing bullying and contribute significantly to improving the quality of the educational environment. With a safer and more supportive environment, students are more comfortable and motivated to engage in learning activities. Therefore, collaboration among teachers, students, and parents is essential to create an educational setting that is free from bullying and promotes a higher quality educational experience.
