The Role of Teachers in Overcoming Socio-Economic Gaps in Elementary School Students in Makassar City
Abstract
This research aims to determine and analyze the role of teachers in overcoming social disparities for elementary school students in Makassar City. The type of research used in this research uses a qualitative approach. The research results show that the role of teachers is in overcoming socio-economic disparities for elementary school students. This problem of socio-economic inequality causes a lot of bullying to occur at the elementary school education unit level today. This condition becomes urgent when this problem causes bullying to occur in elementary schools. Therefore, teachers need to carry out discussion and lecture processes regarding bullying at school by instilling religious values and character in students as well as teaching ethics, and designing or creating prevention programs that contain messages to students not to bully, especially because of the economic disparities that exist in schools. Apart from that, an elementary school teacher should be an example or role model who always guides students so that they adapt to other friends because teachers do not only deliver learning material, but a teacher also need to have a role in instilling a sense of caring and a sense of kinship among students. so that the problem of social inequality can be minimized in the classroom. The occurrence of socio-economic disparities can be caused by several factors, namely income level, education, and employment, where most parents' jobs are as laborers and traders.
