Upaya Kepala Sekolah Dalam Mensosialisasikan Pentingnya Menabung Sejak Usia Dini Di Taman Kanak-Kanak Kepodang Kota Bandung

Abstract

This study aims to determine the efforts of the principal in socializing the importance of saving from an early age and to determine the factors that become barriers for children to save. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, while the data collection techniques that researchers use are interviews, observation, and documentation. To obtain valid data results, researchers used several triangulation techniques including source triangulation, method triangulation, investigator triangulation, and theory triangulation. From the results of observations and data collection that the researchers have done, it can be concluded that the factors that inhibit children from saving tend to arise from the parents, where some parents feel
their income is less stable. But this has been anticipated by the existence of the principal’s policy that does not specify the amount of money that must be saved. Furthermore, the principal’s efforts in socializing the importance of saving in several ways, including socializing at parent meetings and providing direction to students through storytelling before the teaching and learning process begins. The efforts that have been made by the principal, can have a positive impact, in which students begin to show excellent progress in appreciating money with their behavior that is not wasteful using pocket money.
