Abstract

Schools are often places that are not culturally sensitive, so unpleasant things can happen to the minority. Discrimination against children from other areas of different ethnicity can be seen in the observations made by the author in the Kindergarten area of Bandung Regency, which is dominated by the Sundanese. The kindergarten accepts new students from the city of Padang who have a Malay cultural background. The student, of course, cannot speak Sundanese, so he uses Indonesian a lot. These language differences cause him to have difficulty communicating. Moreover, with different dialects or language accents from the habits of the majority group, in this case, Sundanese, children from minority groups often become the object of laughter and ridicule. This is sometimes considered normal for some people even though it is one of the bullying behaviors that have a bad impact on children; therefore, diversity needs to be taught from an early age. However, for further research, the author needs to study how children understand diversity in their social interactions. The purpose of this research is to analyze how children understand diversity in their social interactions. The research design used is Systematic Literature Review. Search for articles was done using the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guide. The study found 3 themes about how early childhood understands diversity in their social interactions. By analyzing how children understand diversity in their social activities, it is hoped that they will be able to oppose acts of discrimination and injustice experienced by children in minority groups.
