CHILDHOOD GANG CARES FOR MY WASTE IN EARLY CHILDREN (CASE STUDY IN CHILDREN AGED 5-6 YEARS AT RA MUSLIMAT NU 25 MALANG CITY)

Abstract

This research aims to find out the description, factors and impact of gangs that form in early childhood, because many studies have not revealed gangs in children aged 5-6 years, where gangs are formed when children are 6-12 years old or in elementary school. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation. In this research, the data validity test used in this research is by means of data triangulation. Triangulation in credibility testing is defined as checking data from various sources in various ways, and at various times. The results of this research show that. The picture of gangs that occurs is that children don't change their friendships or it could be said that they only want to play with that child, in fact children don't want to play with anyone when their gang friends don't come. The factor in the occurrence of gangs in children is not being able to understand the situation from when the gang was first formed, or it could be said that teachers are insensitive when students form these gangs, but apart from that, the home environment also greatly influences the occurrence of gang formation in early childhood. The impact of gangs on children is a negative impact, but negative things that happen to children can definitely be changed as early as possible, one of which is with the cooperation of parents, within the scope of play. The way to deal with gangs in early childhood is to approach children, and provide additional lessons about mutual cooperation and carry out group-based learning where the group changes every day.
