Axiological Study: Integrating the Cultural Values of Mo Hungguli in Disaster Mitigation Learning at Kindergartens in Telaga District, Gorontalo Regency

Abstract

Disaster mitigation is a method or practice used to prevent or address a disaster. In Gorontalo, natural disasters such as floods and landslides frequently occur. The aim of this research is to provide insights into the practical value of a culture in instilling disaster mitigation knowledge to kindergarten students through an axiological study that focuses on the study of values. This article is written using a qualitative approach, with a literature review to explore the integration of Mo Hungguli into disaster mitigation education for kindergarten children. Disaster mitigation in kindergartens is rarely implemented, even though the knowledge to prevent and address disasters should be instilled from an early age. Good disaster mitigation is one that can be passed down through generations via local culture, providing practical knowledge that can be used during a disaster. One of the cultural traditions from Gorontalo that will be used is Mo Hungguli. Mo Hungguli is a storytelling culture, which is very suitable for integrating with disaster mitigation, as it aligns with the essence of practical value in the dissemination of knowledge to young children.
