Socialization of the Love of Saving to Children of SDN 01 Asem and MI Tarbiyatul Wildan, Asem Village, Cirebon Regency

Abstract

Socializing activities about saving money from an early age is one of the efforts to increase financial awareness and ability in children. Saving is an important activity that needs to be learned from an early age to form good habits in managing finances in the future. However, there are still shortcomings in the learning process for children to save, especially at an early age. Therefore, early savings socialization activities for grade 3 students at SDN 01 Asem and MI Tarbiyatul Wildan were carried out with the aim of providing students with understanding and knowledge about saving. This activity uses the method of presenting material or counseling to grade 3  students at SDN 01 Asem with a total of 26 students along with MI Tarbiyatul Wildan students with a total of 31 students.Students are expected to understand the concept of saving and the benefits that can be obtained from this activity. The survey results show that the majority of students understand the meaning and benefits of saving and feel that socializing savings activities from an early age is useful. Apart from that, the teachers and principals responded positively to this activity. It is hoped that early savings socialization activities for grade 3 students at SDN 01 Asem and MI Tarbiyatul Wildan can help change students' thinking patterns and behavior regarding financial management, so that good savings habits are formed from an early age.
