Need Analysis of Sundanese Cultural Infusion: Peaceful Education in Early Childhood Education Based

Muhamad Kosim Gifari

Abstract

Peace education at the early childhood education is very important to be implemented. This study aims to analyze the need for infusing of Sundanese culture-based peace education in early childhood education. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with a survey of teachers and school principals in Soreang, Bandung Regency. The sample technique was the convenience sampling technique. The survey was distributed through a questionnaire on a google form and then distributed to the communication media group to be filled out by teachers and principals of Raudhatul Athfal and Kindergarten who were willing to be respondents. The results showed that the majority of respondents, dominated by teachers, believed that Sundanese culture was effective in teaching the value of peace. Values such as silly asah, silly asih, silly nurturing and traditional games are seen as a powerful medium in educating children about self-awareness and conflict resolution skills. However, there are needs for resources, additional training, and the integration of Sundanese culture in the curriculum to support better implementation of peace education. In conclusion, the infusing of Sundanese culture-based peace education in early childhood education is urgently needed and respondents consider that it needs to be supported by adequate training and resources to ensure its successful implementation.
