Peran Sekolah dalam Mendukung Literasi Well–Being Anak Usia Dini dan Dampaknya pada Kesehatan Mental

Abstract

One of the problems currently facing the world of education, especially schools in Indonesia, is the low critical thinking skills of children when learning reading and writing activities due to a lack of diversity in the use of media in schools and children's low interest in literacy. The aim of this research is to understand the role of schools in supporting the literasi well-being of early childhood and its impact on mental health. This research uses qualitative descriptive research. The data collection techniques in this research are observation, interviews and documentation which will then be analyzed using thematic analysis from Braun & Clarke. The results of this research show that the role of schools is in supporting the welfare of early childhood literacy and the impact on mental health by providing infrastructure in the form of providing reading corners in each class, libraries and attractive reading posters. Apart from that, the school also uses several interesting methods to attract children's interest in literasi and support wellbeing literacy in the form of storytelling, role playing, project-based learning, and songs and movements.
