A Study of Communication Behavior in Private Spaces and Anticipation: Role of Teachers Based Character Education and Digital Literacy

This study aims to explain symbolic violence as a behavior of communicating among students, explain text signs and the context of symbolic violence based on the process of communication behavior among students and explain symbolic violence and anticipation of student behavior through the role of teachers based on character education and digital literacy. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques use observation and documentation. Data analysis is done by organizing data, describing it into units, synthesizing, structuring it into patterns, choosing which ones are important and which ones to learn, and making conclusions. The results showed that acts of symbolic violence between students through private space communication were considered commonplace even though they realized that these actions were not justified. The violence is caused by feeling superior and thinking other students have shortcomings. In order to avoid symbolic acts of violence in the media, the role of the teacher in each teaching refers to character building. Digital literacy efforts are carried out in schools to shape character and anticipate violence for students when using digital media.
