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.
