Kumon Learning at SMA PAB Saentis Kaliserayu Street, District Percut Sei Tuan Village Saentis

Abstract

The learning conducted in schools so far tends to apply classical teaching techniques that do not pay attention to the stages in the variation of their teaching methods. For that reason, various parties must care about advancing education starting from the elementary school level. In this community service activity, there are many efforts that want to be implemented, one of which is applying appropriate learning principles to improve the quality of children's education, even if carried out by parties outside the school. One of the roles of parents greatly influences the success of the learning obtained by the child. Motivating and sparking curiosity and interest in a subject will greatly ease a child's ability to remain in a constant zone or condition of being open and aware of learning a subject, especially in mathematics. For that reason, a good method of studying a subject is needed, one of which is known as learning techniques. A condition where all parties cooperate and interact will build a positive direction so that education can develop towards a better and higher quality. In this research activity, the theme revolves around teaching mathematics to school children using the KUMON method. Repetition is intended to add value in learning new material and linking it in a hierarchical structure to previously learned material, so that it will be recalled automatically when the child is faced with problems that require connecting past material with upcoming material.
