Upaya membangun Kesadaran akan Budaya Sekolah Islami yang Aman dan Berkarakter: Tindakan Prefentif Prilaku Bully di Sekolah dan Penanaman Nilai Islam

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (ECE) plays a crucial role in constructing the socio-emotional,
cognitive, and moral foundations of an individual. However, realities on the ground indicate that
ECE environments are not entirely sterile from inter-child conflict dynamics that can potentially
evolve into often-overlooked bullying. This article is based on community service conducted by
the Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia team at TK RJ on August 28, 2026. The main issue is the
misconception among ECE educators where aggressive actions are often simplified as normal
misbehavior. Through interactive socialization and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), this program
aims to align educators' perceptions by combining developmental psychology analysis with
Islamic moral principles. The results showed an increase in educators' cognitive capacity and
affective skills in recognizing, preventing, and responding to bullying in an Islamic manner to
realize a safe, inclusive, and noble-character environment. Keyword: bullying prevention, early
