IMPROVING UNDERSTANDING OF THE DANGER OF BULLYING BASED ON TRI HITA KARANA THROUGH CLASSICAL GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS OF CLASS IX E SMPN 8 DENPASAR IN THE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the understanding of bullying risks among students in class XI E at SMPN 8 Denpasar through Tri Hita Karana-based classical guidance counseling. Tri Hita Karana is a concept of harmony encompassing relationships with God (parahyangan), fellow humans (pawongan), and the environment (pabelasan). The study employed a classroom action research method with two cycles. The analysis results demonstrate that the Tri Hita Karana-based guidance service is effective in improving students' understanding of bullying dangers. In the pretest phase, 46.15% of students were categorized as having low understanding, while only 20.51% had a high understanding. After the first cycle, the percentage of students with low understanding decreased to 25.64%, and those with high understanding increased to 43.59%. By the second cycle, the results improved significantly, with the percentage of students with low understanding dropping to 12.82%, while those with high understanding rose sharply to 61.54%. The success of this approach highlights the relevance of Tri Hita Karana in raising students' awareness of bullying risks. By fostering harmonious relationships with God, others, and the environment, students gain essential values for addressing and preventing bullying. Therefore, the Tri Hita Karana-based approach is recommended for broader implementation in school counseling programs to create a safe and conducive learning environment.
