STUDI KASUS PENDIDIKAN SEKS PADA ANAK USIA DINI DI TK MUSLIMAT NU 221 SALAFIYAH BAHAUDDIN TAMAN SIDOARJO

Abstract

Many people still consider sexual education in early childhood to be taboo information. Many parents do not agree with teaching children about sexual education because they feel that it is not yet the time for children to know. The high rate of sexual abuse that occurs both against children and teenagers is the biggest reason why it is so important for children to know about sexual education from an early age. Sexual education to children should be given by parents from an early age and then continued by educators at school as a reinforcement of the understanding that children already know. The aim of this research is that the author wants to describe the sex education program at TK Muslimat NU 221 Salafiyah Bahauddin Taman Sidoarjo. The author also wants to know about parents' understanding regarding sexual education for children. This research is a qualitative descriptive case study research. Data collection techniques in this research are interviews, observation and documentation using the Miles & Huberman Interactive Model Analysis technique. The subjects in this research were 6 people, namely, the principal, Kindergarten B teacher, and three guardians of Kindergarten B students. Both educators and parents were able to provide a fairly good understanding of sexual education for children in a basic and age-appropriate manner. Understanding is provided through various media and practices that can support children in understanding and learning about sexual education. Such as through songs, cartoons, pictures, conversations, getting used to going to the bathroom and using the bathroom for long periods of time for female students. From providing sexual education, parents gave a positive response regarding the changes their children showed while at home. However, integration/linkages between institutions and parents regarding sexual education are still not established. So it is felt that this needs to be established so that children can learn better.
