Abstract:
Purpose:This study develops a chatbot for school violence prevention (C-SVP) among elementary school students.
Methods:Among the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) models, ADD phases were applied to develop a C-SVP. Students’ learning needs were identified by constructing content with a design that attracted their attention. Subsequently, a formative evaluation was conducted on the developed C-SVP to test its applicability by ten elementary school students targeting the 5th and 6th grades.
Results:The chatbot was designed using KakaoTalk and named “School Guardian Angel.” The formative evaluation revealed that the developed C-SVP was easily accessible and useful for elementary school students.
Conclusion:The developed C-SVP is expected to be effective in preventing violence among elementary school students. However, further research involving children of various age groups is required.
