Introduction

Aspects of early childhood development are aspects of religious and moral values, physical-motor, cognitive, language, social-emotional, and art. Early childhood development is included in the urgency . This early childhood development can be improved through education. This is because education is the initial foundation for further growth and development. Early childhood education is education designed with the aim of encouraging the overall growth and development of children in the development of all aspects of personality. The basis of early childhood education is contained in the needs of children, which are adapted to the values contained in the environment and implemented in accordance with the early development of early childhood. The purpose of learning is to lead to development. Learning is an activity between teachers and learners in order to achieve learning objectives. Therefore, early childhood learning must use suitable methods to improve child development. The appropriate methods applied since childhood are the method of playing, the method of telling stories, the method of singing, the method of talking and the method of field trips. This method of playing and singing activities can be done in angklung activities.(Hesti Wulandari & Purwanta, 2020)(Anggraeni & Na'imah, 2022)(Arum & Dyahningtyas, 2022)(Goddess, Mayasarokh, & Gustiana, 2020)(Yaswinda, Yulsyofriend, & Sari, 2020)(Ramansyah, 2013)(Amelia Putri Wulandari, Salsabila, Cahyani, Nurazizah, & Ulfiah, 2023)(Siswanto, Zaelansyah, Susanti, &; Fransiska, 2019)

Etymologically, Angklung comes from the word "number" which means sound and "lung" which means broken. So, Angklung refers to a broken tone or an incomplete tone. The word angklung comes from the way the instrument is played. According to Karuhun Urang Sunda in ancient times, human life was likened to an angklung pipe. The ball represents the person himself . Angklung game is a game that is done with up and down movements of players such as swimming on the surface of the water and also the sound of the klung from the musical instrument. The world of education plays an important role in transmitting the values contained in this angklung art to the next generation. As one of the activities that can encourage children's growth and development is angklung learning. Angklung learning is an effort to increase success in achieving learning objectives. As already explained, that learning both in intra-and-extracurricular learning such as angklung learning aims to improve the development and fulfillment of children's needs.(Widiastuti & Watini, 2022)(Fitriah & The Ultimate, 2023)(Sumaludin, 2022)(Nursanti, Mulyana, & ..., 2021)

In Maslow's theory, there is a hierarchy of needs that people need in general. Needs in this hierarchy show that people tend to feel satisfied when meeting needs from the lowest to the highest. Needs include physiological, love, security and emotional needs . Physiological needs are the core of efforts to meet children's needs, both physical and psychological. Physiological needs are also the starting point for the fulfillment of children's rights, including the right to life and development.(Haki, 2021)(Effendi, 2020)

This self-actualization of a person has the freedom and ability to choose the field of work and specialization he likes and they get satisfaction for his work and expertise. Human needs are divided into 5 levels, namely physiological needs, security needs, social needs, self-esteem needs and self-actualization needs.  In general, perceptive people really enjoy interaction with the world around them. They can think logically, can draw conclusions about objectivity and a picture of reality or reality they face. (Haki, 2021)(Full & Pusposari, 2021)(Lestari1), Dau, & Januru, 2021)

This can also be seen in the observation that there are still many children who are awaited by parents and guardians while at school. In this case, the school provides facilities in the form of extracurricular in schools in order to improve children's self-actualization, one of which is through angklung learning. Based on this statement, this study aims to determine the implementation of angklung learning in early childhood self-actualization.

Below is the angklung learning method in ABA Ngabean 2 Kindergarten which is the result of the researcher's observation complemented by interviews.(Fitriah & The Ultimate, 2023)

1.    Exploring Children's Songs

Children are invited to sing several songs with various musical accompaniments. The songs taught are national songs, children's songs, and folk songs. National songs introduced such as my homeland, bandung lautan api, my ancestors, and garuda Pancasila. Then in the children's song, the song see my garden, my dear teacher, and mother's love. The folk songs taught are padang bulan song and bald bald pacul

2.    Talking about songs

In angklung activities, to introduce songs to children begins with talking about the songs sung. This is so that children can find out what the meaning of the song is. New vocabulary that is unfamiliar to children is also introduced so that children can understand the meaning of the song. In addition to interpreting songs, conversation activities are also carried out to find out children's feelings and children's news when doing angklung learning activities.

 

 

3.    How to properly hold angklung

The initial training in playing angklung is by providing knowledge on how to hold angklung properly. This activity is carried out with the child being asked to advance one by one by justifying how to hold it. In the left hand the child holds the upper left part of the angklung. While the child's right hand is asked to make a finger like a gun and aims to make the trainer easy to teach the child to insert the child's index finger into the right part of the angklung by holding it with two fingers, namely index and thumb.

4.    Play songs to the beat of the music

This activity is carried out by the child following the rhythm of the music according to the child's choice by moving the angklung to the right, left, up, and down compactly. This activity is carried out to train children's cohesiveness and concentration. Another goal is to get children to learn to move angklung according to music. In this activity, the trainer gives directions by raising the hand up so that the child moves the angklung up, then the coach's hand moves to the left, then the child moves to the right as well as for the movement to the kiti. In this right and left movement, the trainer uses the concept of mirror, where the child follows the movement according to what is seen.

5.    Practice to restore the angklung in order

After the activity is over, the child is invited to return the angklung. Because this angklung has a sequence in tone, the arrangement of angklung is also carried out by being arranged according to the order of tone. For this reason, in the process of returning, children are called one by one starting from the lowest note to the largest. This can train children in patience.

6.    Introduced trainer tone symbol

In this angklung learning, the trainer does not need to use the sound that comes out of the mouth. This is because angklung is done with children following instructions from the trainer by being introduced to tone symbols in the form of finger and hand movements from the trainer. At this stage the child must concentrate and memorize with the movement symbols from the coach.

Figure 2. The child practices understanding the movement symbols of the trainer

7.    Gesture addition

Giving movement to children provides its own attraction so that children do not get bored to stand while playing angklung. This is because children always feel bored when the feet are just still and must pay attention to the coach. For this reason, both hands and feet are given when playing angklung.

Figure 3. Additional movements of angklung

8.    Practice marching on stage

Angklung learning in class is carried out with children sitting in rows according to the sequence of notes ranging from do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, and high do. For this reason, on stage it is also done according to the sequence of tones but in the second row it is between the bodies of the children in front of it.

9.    Appreciation of angklung learning

Angklung learning is not only done in class. However, as a form of appreciation of angklung and the learning carried out, children are invited to take part in competitions. The activity was the result of deliberation between the school and the trainer and parents. This year, ABA Ngabean 2 Kindergarten consists of two angklung groups in categories A and B. in 2023, ABA Ngabean 2 Kindergarten won 2nd place for both categories participated. The appreciation given was by displaying and introducing angklung to the surrounding community, and children were given an award trophy for the results of learning to play angklung at school.

Figure 4. Children participate in angklung competition

The angklung learning in ABA Ngabean 2 Kindergarten received support from various parties. In addition to teachers and principals who always motivate children to participate in activities, schools also provide facilities that are constantly updated so that angklung learning can attract more children. Of course, support from parents or parents is very influential on children's motivation. Parents and guardians are involved in planning angklung activities during parenting activities in skeolah, and parents are involved in school events and competition preparation by being included as the competition committee.

Evaluation

            Evaluation activities on angklung learning are carried out by principals, teachers, and angklung trainers which are then conveyed to parents and guardians during guardian and parenting meetings. The evaluation carried out is about the time of implementation of angklung activities that are adjusted to the trainer's schedule, what facilities need to be updated, input and suggestions received by the school about angklung learning, and what strategies can be given so that children are able to increase their talents and interest in angklung learning.

Human needs have many things, one of which is self-actualization . This self-actualization can be done and grown from an early age. In early childhood the process of self-actualization can be done by exploring talents and interests in children . As is the case with angklung in ABA Ngabean 2 Kindergarten, this is also a form of learning that can improve children's self-actualization. This is because angklung in the school is an extra school where the activity is carried out on the basis of interest, stability, and things that are liked. This means that when children participate in these activities is an encouragement that arises from within the child himself and this is a child's talent. In self-actualization, this can bring up several influences related to child development. Self-confidence can also be generated from activities that encourage self-actualization . Looking at the results of observations made at ABA Ngabean 2 Kindergarten, several self-actualizations can be obtained that can increase children's confidence in angklung embalming. The following is a table of the impact of children's self-actualization through angklung learning.(Full & Pusposari, 2021)(Ariana, 2016)(Effendi, 2020)

Actualization is needed for children to be able to foster self-confidence, broaden horizons and bring out creativity in children. Self-actualization, starting from early childhood, the child must be introduced to the potential he has and help the child to develop the potential he has and through that he can actualize himself from an early age until he is an adult. Support from parents to children to provide opportunities in development is one form of support for children's self-actualization. Based on the explanation above, it shows that angklung learning activities can increase self-actualization in accordance with existing theories, especially in self-confidence. Self-confidence is important for meeting the needs of children's lives. Because through this confident attitude the child becomes not easy to give up and can solve when faced with a problem .(Effendi, 2020)(Ariana, 2016)(Shaiful, 2020)(Manurung, Wulan, &; Purwanto, 2021)

 

Conclusion

Judging from the description above, it can be concluded that implementing angkung learning in early childhood can increase development in students. This can be seen from angklung learning as early childhood self-actualization, especially in children's self-confidence. This is an important attitude to get used to from an early age as to be applied in the next life. Self-actualization in early childhood through angklung learning in this case is children's self-confidence, which can be seen from the initial introduction of angklung learning from the introduction of munik, musical instruments, to angklung appreciation can be seen and is very useful for children's needs.
