Abstract

Background The Global School-based Health Survey showed that 20.6% of Indonesian students aged 13 to 17 years old were bullied. The proportion was lower than those reported from Southeast Asian countries (28.3% to 51.0%). School education was reported to contribute to the reduction of bullying, but no similar study has been done in Indonesia. This study aimed to explore the role of school-based education in preventing bullying in high schools in Indonesia. Methods: In-depth interviews with principals and focus group discussions with teachers from five schools in Mataram City were conducted in 2018. Data were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. Participant observations and document reviews were conducted to verify the data Methods This study utilized a qualitative research method to collect data using focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) of high school teachers. Participant observations and document reviews were also used to validate the findings from FGDs and IDIs. Results A total of 25 teachers (17 females and eight males) participated in the FGDs. Their average years of teaching experience was 15.6 (range: 2 to 31 years). Four out of the five IDI respondents were male, and the average years of teaching experience was 31.2 (range: 23 to 41 years). Conclusions Pancasila and civics education and religious education teach values related to bullying prevention. Meanwhile, character education that includes bullying prevention is integrated into the curriculum. The study findings strongly support the importance of promoting a school-based bullying prevention program, especially in the curriculum. Cultural practices and extracurricular activities allow students to demonstrate the values that they have learned. Schools also implement policies and maintain a good physical environment so that students do not bully their peers. Current interventions in Indonesia should be continued and must be modified to respond to societal changes both at the country and international levels. Countries should consider promoting a school-based bullying prevention program through revision of their academic curriculum.
