PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA VIDEO ANIMASI UNTUK PENCEGAHAN KEKERASAN SEKSUAL PADA ANAK USIA DINI

This study was motivated by observations at Pembina State Kindergarten in Julok Subdistrict, which showed that the learning media used for sex education with young children were still relatively simple, such as whiteboards, pictures, and songs. As a result, some children remained confused about which parts of the body need to be protected and how to protect themselves from sexual violence. The study aimed to develop animated video media that are feasible for preventing sexual violence in early childhood. The study used a research and development (R&D) design, following Thiagarajan's four-D (4D) model, which consists of four stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. However, the disseminate stage was conducted on a limited basis through a trial with children aged 5-6 years. Data were collected through a literature review and validation questionnaires, and were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The results showed that the animated video was deemed highly feasible based on validation by material and media experts. The material expert's validation yielded a score of 100%, and the media expert's validation yielded 98%, both falling into the "highly feasible" category. Therefore, the animated video, which focuses on recognizing unsafe actions toward the body, is feasible for use as a learning medium for preventing sexual violence in early childhood.
