pengembangan Model Pembelajaran Sains Yang Efektif Di Taman Kanak-Kanak

Science education is essential to the development of kindergarten students. Integrating science education into education from an early age, intended to help children understand the world around them and improve critical thinking skills. Science can not be taught to children in a way like other knowledge that is to tell the children directly yield discoveries in science. This is because on the one hand, science is observation and exploration of the world around us, including questioning, investigating, analyzing, and drawing conclusions. On the other hand, children are often eager to know and they are intuitive. They try to understand the reasons why things happen and busy looking for answers. In other words, they seem to have a natural aptitude for science. Thus, children should be actively involved in the learning process of science. This research is the development of a model that aims to make science learning strategy for kindergarten children to develop their potential as a researcher in the future. The research began with capturing the habits, needs, and hopes of kindergarten teachers in the teaching of science through a questionnaire. The results together with the results of literature study on the teaching of science, used to make a prototype of science learning model in kindergarten. Then the prototype was tested in a limited area in some kindergartens to get input as a revision material. This guide was then revised and will be widely disseminated to other kindergartens as an innovation in science learning in kindergarte
