摘要:This research is done based on concerns with children’s lack of knowledge about the culture. Indonesia is a country that is rich in cultural diversity. Cultural diversity in Indonesia today is beginning to experience shock. The shock is caused by the entry of foreign culture which then dominated local culture. The media for the introduction of local culture in early childhood is minimal and less attractive. The creation of local cultural media today is not comparable to the creation of foreign media, so early childhood is more comfortable with foreign cultures and less familiar with the local culture. This study aims to determine the differences and knowledge of early childhood about cultural heritage in terms of the use of Punakawan novel graphics. This study uses quantitative research with experimental methods. The research design used is Pre-Experimental Designs.
