The subjects of the product testing and development were evaluated by one media expert, one Guidance and Counseling expert, and two practitioner experts as validators, analyzed using Aiken’s V. The evaluation results from the media expert were 1.00, the Guidance and Counseling expert 1.08, and the practitioner experts 1.18, each indicating a high level of relevance. These scores were calculated based on the coefficient values of each aspect. The results demonstrate that the Artsteps application media is suitable for use as an informational service to prevent bullying behavior based on aspects of acceptability.
