Abstract

Many elementary school students are imitating the scenes from the shows they watch and practicing martial arts scenes with friends at school. Most students like soap operas with action and drama genres, and often resemble the scenes at school. Everyone of all ages can watch adolescent soap operas and full parental control cannot be fully exercised. This study looked into the influence of adolescent soap operas on elementary school students’ behaviour. The research method conducted interviews with competent informants. Data were collected via the observation and discussions made, and both were documented. Data from the research conducted showed that adolescent soap opera does influence student behaviour. A student's behaviour might mimic scenes that are less educational from the shows, such as fighting by using violence to recognise love. This makes children precocious. Keywords: Adolescence, soap opera, elementary students' behaviour.
