Edukasi Komunikasi Sosial dalam Meningkatkan Komunikasi Efektif Siswa melalui Pesan Berantai Di SMA AL-HIDAYAH

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve students' effective communication skills through social communication education using the chain message method. The activity was conducted at SMA Al-Hidayah, located at Jl. Letda Sujono Gg. Perguruan No. 4, Bandar Selamat, Medan Tembung District, Medan City, North Sumatra, from 13:00 to 15:00. The background of this activity is based on the low ability of students to convey and understand messages clearly, which often leads to communication distortion. The method used is a participatory approach through chain message games, supported by material delivery, discussion, and reflection. The participants were tenth-grade students. The results showed improved students' ability to convey messages clearly, better listening skills, and increased confidence and social interaction. Therefore, the chain message method is effective in improving students' communication skills.
