Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing number of bullying cases in educational settings, which negatively impact the character, psychological, and social development of students. Civics Education (PKn) plays a strategic role in instilling moral values, empathy, tolerance, and respect for human rights, which can shape anti-bullying character. This study aims to determine the role of civics education in building anti-bullying character and identify supporting and inhibiting factors at the UPT of SMK Negeri 8 Bulukumba. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results show that Civics Education plays a crucial role in developing anti-bullying character through the instillation of Pancasila values, learning that emphasizes empathy, tolerance, and social responsibility, and the role models of teachers as educators and motivators. Furthermore, supporting factors include school policies, a positive school culture, and cooperation among school members. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include low awareness among some students, the influence of the social environment, and limited time for learning.
