Analisis Penanganan Konflik di Sekolah Dasar sebagai Representasi dari Film Teach You a Lesson

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of school conflict and its resolution patterns in the Korean drama series Teach You a Lesson, which portrays a special agency called BPHP tasked with handling bullying, abuse of power, and other forms of misconduct in schools, and links the findings with real conditions at an elementary school in Lhokseumawe, as a case study. Using a qualitative descriptive approach that combines content analysis of ten episodes of the series with field observation and interviews at the school, this study identifies recurring conflict themes and the strategies used to resolve them, then compares these with the conflict-handling practices already applied at the school. Data were collected through document observation of the series' narrative content as well as observation, interviews, and documentation at the elementary school in Lhokseumawe, and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the conflicts represented in the series include power-based bullying, gang violence, social media defamation, excessive academic pressure, teachers' loss of authority, and exploitation of minors, while the elementary school in Lhokseumawe has applied a preventive approach through anti-bullying socialization, character-building routines, and close communication between homeroom teachers and parents. This study concludes that although the series is set in a secondary school environment, its underlying values courage in confronting intimidation, school-family cooperation, and restorative discipline are consistent with and can further strengthen the conflict-prevention culture already being developed at the elementary school in Lhokseumawe.
