Abstract

Abstract: Verbal abuse is a form of violence that has a direct impact on the psychological development of young children. Harsh, demeaning, and mocking words are often considered trivial, but they can hinder the formation of a child's character. The school environment plays a strategic role in preventing this, especially through the presence of teachers as role models and mentors. This study aims to determine: (1) the role of teachers in preventing verbal abuse in early childhood, (2) the obstacles and supporting factors faced by teachers in preventing verbal abuse, and (3) the learning strategies applied by teachers in preventing verbal abuse at the Sungai Mulia 5 Gombak Early Childhood Education Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach methodology, with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is the interactive model by Miles and Huberman, which consists of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research subjects were the institution managers, teachers, and students at Sanggar Bimbingan Sungai Mulia 5 Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The results of the study showed that: (1) the role of teachers in preventing verbal violence included: instilling character education through learning, applying Islamic values, active teacher supervision, setting an example for children, and collaborative intervention with parents; (2) the inhibiting factors include the consistency of teachers in repeating positive material, lack of supervision at home, and limited facilities, while the supporting factors include the religious background of teachers, a supportive curriculum, and support from parents and administrators; (3) the learning strategies used include storytelling, Islamic videos, role-playing, and reinforcement with praise and rewards for good speech.
