Abstract

Low digital literacy and a lack of understanding regarding cyber grooming prevention make students more vulnerable to this crime. This study aims to develop an educational tool called “SafeNet Journey,” designed as an educational board game to prevent cyber grooming among students in Malang City. The SafeNet Journey board game enhances students’ understanding and awareness of cyber grooming through educational gameplay tailored to the characteristics of middle school students. Thus, the novelty of this study lies in the use of an educational snakes-and-ladders-style board game that integrates cyber grooming prevention education into interactive learning, thereby strengthening students’ understanding of digital safety. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which encompasses Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Based on the results of validation tests conducted by media experts and content experts, the suitability rating for the SafeNet Journey board game reached 91.25%, placing it in the “Highly Suitable” category. Meanwhile, the suitability rating for the cyber grooming content presented in the board game reached 90%, placing it in the “Highly Suitable” category. These results indicate that SafeNet Journey is suitable for use as a learning tool in efforts to prevent cyber grooming among junior high school students in Malang City.
