Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between parent-child communication and self-confidence in RA Ma'arif 1 Metro students. This research is a descriptive quantitative correlational research. With a population of female students of RA Ma'arif 1 Metro and a population of 60 people. Sampling in a purposive way. The research sample amounted to 35 people, the sample was taken based on the characteristics or properties of the population that were known beforehand. Data collection was carried out using a scale, namely the parent and child communication scale and the self-confidence scale. The data analysis technique used is product moment correlation analysis (r) of 0.482 with p < 0.05. The results of the study obtained communication that occurs between parents and children in the high category, as much as 55% in the high category, 45% in the medium category and 5% in the low category. While self-confidence is obtained 60% in the medium category, 35% in the high category and 5% in the low category. Suggestion: Parents can anticipate this by further improving communication between parents and children. Schools understand the importance of collaborating with parents to anticipate the emergence of forms of misparenting behavior, especially those caused by a lack of communication between parents and children.

Abstract

Early childhood science learning must be adapted to the child's developmental stage. The science learning stage is still at the stage of recognizing and mixing colors. This research aims to determine the ability to identify science skills in early childhood through experimental activities of mixing colors at Al-Furqan Kindergarten. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques using observation and documentation. The research results show that children's ability to experiment with science through color mixing activities is very good, marked by children's ability to experiment, namely by observing, classifying, comparing, measuring, communicating and concluding. This is caused by teachers involving children directly in science experiment activities, so that children are more excited and then start doing simple experiments by mixing colors. This science experiment activity through mixing colors goes through a process of preparation, implementation and evaluation. The teacher prepares what is needed for this activity and carries out the activity according to what has been planned, then evaluates what are the shortcomings for carrying out the next science experimental activity. Meanwhile, the science process skills are observing, classifying, comparing, measuring, communicating, experimenting and concluding.
