Abstract First, the problem in Meunasah Teungoh

Village, Simpang Keuramat District is about education,

namely where the learning process in schools is still less

effective and efficient. The teaching and learning

process in two schools in Gampong Meunasah Teungoh,

namely SD Negeri 5 Simpang Keuramat still tends to

seem monotonous and boring. The children/students

have not been able to catch what the teachers are

saying, thus causing the process of delivering the

material not to be well received by the

children/students. This of course makes children's

knowledge less and tends not to be able to apply it

directly in society. Therefore, through the service in the

form of effective learning socialization that we will do in

the two schools, it makes the children/students more

enthusiastic in learning and enthusiastic in receiving all

the knowledge that we provide. Second, the problem in

Gampong Meunasah Teungoh is the lack of awareness

of children in cultivating saving from an early age. This

is due to the lack of attention from parents and school

institutions in providing knowledge and teaching about

the importance of saving from an early age. Children

tend to have a desire to spend the pocket money given

by their parents quickly so that when an urgent

situation comes, they have no savings. Therefore, we

will conduct socialization activities on saving from an

early age to children, by providing knowledge through

games to them about the importance of saving from an

early age.

Introduction

Education has a very important role in human life because, with education,

skilled and qualified human beings will be formed (Adler, 1998). So that they

can compete with other humans. Education is a very basic thing that cannot be

separated from everyone's life (Schultz, 1961). Along with improving the world

of education. The thing that must be done by the world of education is of

course to prepare creative human resources, able to solve actual problems, and

be able to produce new technology which is an improvement from before. This

education can be obtained by learning. The more we learn, the more knowledge

we will gain. Learning requires a process that will provide output. The

knowledge or education we get from study habits can be a powerful tool in

helping us make quality decisions (Cooper & Gurung, 2017). With the ability that

is always perfected, we become wiser in seeing a problem, because we can see

the problem from a wider perspective.

Learning is an activity that is carried out consciously to get some impressions

from the material that has been studied (Sperry, 1968). According to the

psychological understanding, learning is a process of change, namely changes in

behavior as a result of interaction with the environment in meeting the needs of

life (Reeve, 2012). These changes will manifest in all aspects of behavior.

Slameto stated that learning is a process of the effort carried out by a person to

obtain a new change in behavior as a whole, as a result of his own experience in

interaction with his environment (Kim, 1998). Furthermore, Nana Sudjana

defines learning as a process marked by a change in one's self. The changes in

question are in the form of learning outcomes that can be shown in various

forms (Chi, 2013).

In terms of process, learning is considered effective if students are actively

involved in carrying out the stages of learning procedures (Kalyuga, 2009). In

terms of results, it is considered effective if the learning objectives are

completely mastered by students (Koles, Stolfi, Borges, Nelson, & Parmelee,

2010). Effective is one way to increase children's interest in learning.

Effectiveness means achieving the targets set in the plan (Zimmerman, 1990).

So, effective learning is if the implementation includes instruments to measure

success and carry out measurements.

Effective learning can also be seen in terms of processes and results. This is very

necessary considering that day by day the interest in learning of the nation's

children is decreasing. If reviewed, the quality of the nation's children is not

inferior to children from developed countries though. It is proven by the

competitiveness of Indonesian children in the international arena. This is proof

that education in Indonesia can also compete globally.

The learning process occurs because of the interaction between a person and

the environment (Arroio, 2010). Therefore learning can happen anytime and

anywhere. One sign that someone has learned is a change in behavior in that

person which may be caused by a change in the level of knowledge, skills, or

attitudes. If the learning process is carried out formally in schools, it is intended

to direct changes in students in a planned manner, both in terms of knowledge,

skills, and attitudes.

Problems arise with the decline in children's enthusiasm for learning because of

the monotonous learning system. This makes students bored and eventually the

quality decreases. Therefore, an effective learning system is needed and must

be taught as early as possible so that in the future it becomes a good habit for

children. As early as possible teach children and apply good things that one day

can become a habit. Likewise with the problem of saving. Saving is a good

activity to cultivate from an early age because practicing saving can have a

positive impact on future lives (Biswas-Diener, 2010). Therefore, it would be

better to start introducing activities or saving activities from an early age for

children. These activities can be started with small things where the child is

directed to be able to set aside his pocket money and put the remaining pocket

money into a piggy bank (BPR Haneda, 2018). Children will love to save if they

have been taught from a young age how to use money properly without wasting

it. This habit will teach children to spend their money properly and also train

them to be independent, putting in the effort before getting what they want.

The two main issues above can be applied to children during our service period.

To teach good things to reap goodness in the future. This service is carried out

at the location, namely the State Elementary School 5 class VI Simpang

Keuramat. Based on this, of course, the students in this school are remote areas

and often escape from learning monitoring like in cities because of this

dedication, of course, they can apply their way of learning so that they can

become students who have better abilities. The school itself is located in

Meunasah Teungoh Village, Simpang Keuramat District, North Aceh Regency.

Gampong Meunasah Teungoh itself is one of 16 villages in Simpang Keuramat

District.

Research Method

Socialization is one of the means that affect a person's personality (Rodermel &

Stepanova, 2015). Socialization is commonly referred to as role theory. Because

in the process of socialization, the roles that must be carried out by individuals

are taught. Effective learning, Saving today is important thing. Knowledge and

saving have been instilled from an early age by some parents to their children

(Chalimah, Martono, & Khafid, 2019). Because knowledge and savings have an

important role in the future. Saving means setting aside some of the money we

have for saving. Saving is one way to manage money. The easiest way to save is

at home because it can be done at any time.

By applying these positive habits, it is hoped that they can have a positive

impact on children, namely children are taught from an early age to learn to

manage finances, children are taught which priority scales are important and

not important, children are taught to value money more, children are taught to

be independent and consistent to achieve a certain goal.

Having the habit of saving is very useful for our future. Saving to save some

money so that it can be used later if needed. The more money that is saved, the

better. Effective learning is learning without mumbling and without making a

sound. In the learning process, we do not need to mumble and without making

a sound, so that the lessons we learn are quickly absorbed into our brains and

can be easily understood by us. Efficient learning is learning that does not take

up much time. So, in the learning process, we should not think about things that

are not related to the lesson so that the time we use does not just run out of

thinking about something useless.

Socialization activities or implementing saving from an early age are activities

that are quite important so that children can understand and start, where

saving is very useful for the future, making them aware and motivating them to

be able to set aside money or appreciate money from an early age can be done

by giving understanding beforehand (Kremer-Sadlik & Kim, 2007). formerly.

Several steps can be taken such as providing an overview and understanding of

the function or use of money, teaching our children which are the main,

absolute, and urgent needs, present needs, and future needs.

Therefore, early socialization activities are quite important activities to achieve

understanding to children that saving is very beneficial for the future so that it

can motivate children to save and raise awareness of children to be able to set

understanding of money and its benefits.
