Abstract

The recent phenomenon of Bullying has unseated the world of education. It requires educators to develop products that can address that behaviour. The study aims to formulate android-based apps as a medium of communication between teachers and parents to address bullying behaviour both at school and at home. This research is development research with 4D development models (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The subjects of his study are students class 1 and class 2, parents, teachers, parents of students. This hypothesis test uses paired samples t-test by comparing pre-test and post-test scores before and after using the adroit application. The results showed that the use of android applications as a communication medium for teachers and parents had a significant impact on improving early childhood bullying behaviour in school and at home. As for the results of the test, the t value of 29,306 with sig (2 tailed) 0.000 > 0.05. It indicates that there is a difference between the pre-test value and the post-test value because the t score found to be positive then this shows that the post-test cost is lower than the pre-test value which means a decrease in bullying behaviour in those children.
