Building Financial Literacy for Elementary School Children through Rupiah Authenticity Education, Rupiah Maintenance, and Financial Management
Abstract
The problem with this service activity stems from the low financial literacy of students at Kasih Ibu Patumbak Private Elementary School, particularly in understanding the authenticity of the Rupiah, managing money effectively, and basic financial management in daily life. Data were obtained through interviews with the Principal and pre-test results, which showed that most students did not understand the characteristics of the Rupiah's authenticity and how to care for it, and lacked basic knowledge about financial management. The solutions provided are in the form of financial literacy education, which includes the history of the Rupiah, the characteristics of authentic money through the 3D method (Seen, Touched, Touched), how to manage money, and simple financial management techniques for elementary school students. The implementation method includes data collection through interviews, descriptive analysis of pre-test and post-test results, direct education, use of learning media, and evaluation of activities. The stages of the activity begin with the preparation and identification of problems, followed by the preparation of materials, the implementation of education through presentations and interactive discussions, and conclude with evaluation using post-tests and comprehension quizzes. The results of the implementation showed a significant increase, where the number of students who obtained a score of 100 increased from 5 to 12 after education, representing a 29% increase. This service program has been proven to increase student understanding significantly and has received a positive response from the school; therefore, it is recommended to be implemented sustainably.
