THE IMPACT OF THE HOE CRAFTSMAN PROFESSION ON EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE
Abstract
Early childhood care is influenced by various factors, one of which is parental occupation. In Sumberdalem Village, Kertek District, Wonosobo Regency, most of the community works as hoe craftsmen with long working hours and heavy physical activity so that it has the potential to influence early childhood care patterns. Based on these conditions, this study aims to: 1) Determine the forms and patterns of care carried out by parents who work as hoe craftsmen towards early childhood in Sumberdalem Village, Kertek District, Wonosobo Regency; 2) Determine the impact of the hoe craftsman profession on early childhood care; and 3) Determine the obstacles or barriers faced by hoe craftsmen parents in early childhood care. This research is a field research with a descriptive qualitative approach. The research was conducted directly in Sumberdalem Village, Kertek District, Wonosobo Regency. The research subjects were 10 parents who work as hoe craftsmen and have children aged 3-6 years. The selection of research subjects was carried out using a purposive sampling technique, namely the deliberate determination of informants based on certain criteria that are in accordance with the research objectives. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation to obtain in-depth data regarding the conditions of early childhood care in hoe craftsman families. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The validity of the data was carried out through source triangulation, technical triangulation, and member checking. The results of the study indicate that: 1) The forms and patterns of parenting applied by hoe craftsmen's parents tend to be diverse, including permissive and democratic parenting patterns influenced by the level of education, economic conditions, and the intensity of parental involvement in childcare; 2) The profession of hoe craftsmen has an impact on early childhood care, especially limited interaction time between parents and children, physical fatigue after work, and less than optimal provision of educational and emotional stimulation to children; and 3) The main obstacles faced by parents in parenting include long working hours, physical fatigue after work, minimal knowledge about early childhood care, and limited time to accompany children to learn and play optimally. However, the profession of hoe craftsmen also provides positive values in the form of instilling an attitude of hard work, responsibility, and independence in children through the family environment and the parents' daily work activities.
