THE EFFECT OF EXPERIMENTAL METHODS ON CHILDREN'S SCIENCE ABILITIES

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low science abilities of children. Because the methods used in the learning process tend to use conventional methods which make children less active in all their activities so that it can be detrimental to children in the learning process. The experimental method was chosen so that children are directly involved in searching, trying and finding their own answers in every science learning activity. Therefore, the aim of this research aims to find out the picture of children exploring natural colors in science games through a guided experimental approach in group B, Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal V Kindergarten, Toddopuli Branch, Perumnas, Tello Baru Branch, Makassar City, which was given experimental method treatment and to find out its existence. The influence of the guided experiment method on the ability to explore natural colors in children's science games. The type of research used is Quasi Experiment or pseudo-experiment. The research population was all group B children at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal V Kindergarten. Meanwhile, the research sample was group B4, totaling 11 children, B2, totaling 11 children for the experimental group and control group. Data collection techniques through test and observation techniques. The data analysis techniques used are descriptive statistical analysis and nonparametric statistical analysis.
