Abstract

This study had as its aim to analyze the thoughts of Javanese–Indonesian and Sundanese–Indonesian children in Indonesia, about their aspirations for the future. In total, 271 Javanese–Indonesian and Sundanese–Indonesian children (aged 4–6) participated. The children were also asked: “what expectations of yours make you happiest?” The results revealed three categories ranging from the most mentioned to the least: aspirations for material issues, expressing doubts about their future aspirations, and wanting to do well in school performance. The results revealed that there was a statistically significant association between children’s ethnic background and their aspirations (χ(1) = 10.089, p = .006). This study offers new ways of thinking in examining young children’s aspirations with regard to ethnicity issues. As aspiring to having successful material issues were the most mentioned by students, as opposed to wanting to do well in school performance, the government should consequently conduct campaigns to build awareness among educators (both teachers and parents) that the purpose of education is to stimulate hopefulness (having aspirations for future).
