Sosialisasi Pendidikan Etika Untuk Pembentukan Karakter Anak Usia Dini di Kelurahan Larangan, Kabupaten Cirebon

Abstract

Abstract

Children's character is an important foundation that needs to be shaped from an early age through the consistent instillation of ethical values from the family environment and society. This community service activity aims to provide ethics education socialization as an effort to build character in early childhood in Larangan Village, Cirebon. The activity involved 11 children aged 5 to 7 years as participants, using a descriptive qualitative research approach. Data collection was carried out through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with parents and companions, as well as activity documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the activity showed an increase in understanding and changes in behavior in the aspects of honesty, responsibility, courtesy, empathy, and discipline after participating in a series of socialization activities packaged through storytelling, role-playing, and habituation. This activity proves that participatory and enjoyable educational methods are effective in instilling ethical values in early childhood. Socialization of this kind needs to be carried out sustainably by involving parents and community leaders so that the character values instilled can be consistently internalized in children's daily lives.
