PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS CERITA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN PENCEGAHAN KEKERASAN SEKSUAL PADA WARGA BELAJAR PAKET A DI PKBM UMATAN WASATON

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of a story-based learning model to enhance the understanding of sexual violence prevention among Package A learners at PKBM Umatan Wasaton. The increasing number of sexual violence cases involving children highlights the urgency of providing accessible and contextual preventive education, particularly in nonformal education settings. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation during three learning sessions that applied narrative-based materials. The findings show that learners initially had limited awareness regarding personal boundaries, forms of sexual violence, and protective strategies. After the intervention, significant improvements were observed in their ability to identify risky situations, articulate personal safety concepts, express concerns, and demonstrate the confidence to refuse or report inappropriate behavior. Story-based learning was found effective in creating a safe and engaging environment, enabling learners to connect lesson content with real-life experiences. The results suggest that narrative approaches offer a relevant and adaptive model for delivering sensitive topics in nonformal education, especially those related to child protection.
