PERAN PENGASUH PONDOK PESANTREN DALAM MENGATASI KASUS BULLYING ANALISIS DAN REKOMENDASI

Abstract

This study explores the role of pesantren caregivers in addressing bullying cases, focusing on their functions, the strategies employed, and recommendations for improved practices. Using a library research method, the study analyzes relevant literature, including books and articles on pesantren education and bullying management. The findings reveal that pesantren caregivers perform multifaceted roles as disciplinarians, moral educators, and conflict mediators. They implement bullying management strategies that include preventive approaches, direct interventions, and psychological support. Preventive approaches involve educational programs to raise awareness, direct interventions address detected bullying cases, and psychological support helps victims recover from trauma. This study recommends the development of comprehensive anti-bullying educational programs, enhanced mediation skills for caregivers through specialized training, and the integration of psychological support into student welfare programs. Implementing these recommendations is expected to improve the effectiveness of bullying management and create a safer pesantren environment. The study also suggests the need for further research to evaluate the effectiveness of various strategies within the pesantren context and their impact on the broader student community.
