Abstract

This study explores the development of digital ethics literacy as a preventive strategy against cyberbullying among high school students in Indonesia. Recognizing the increasing prevalence of cyberbullying in digital environments, this research investigates the effectiveness of game-based learning using Interland, a digital educational game developed by Google, in promoting ethical digital behavior. Conducted at Senior High School 4 in South Tangerang, the study employs a qualitative approach with data collected through classroom observations, student reflections, and interviews with teachers and students. The findings indicate that the use of Interland not only enhances students’ understanding of digital ethics, such as privacy, respect, and responsible online behavior—but also fosters active engagement and critical thinking in navigating digital spaces. This research highlights the potential of game-based learning as an innovative pedagogical tool to cultivate digital citizenship and prevent harmful behaviors in online interactions. The study suggests the integration of digital ethics education into the national curriculum and calls for further research on the long-term impacts of digital game interventions in educational settings.
