Abstract

Early age is a golden age for a child, because at that age a child is easy to learn many things, which later formed the mindset, habits and personality. I Maths is a program aimed at supporting learning to train children to think logically and is very suitable for the formation of logical thinking from an early age children. Since the holding of course I Maths in TK Kristen Tri Tunggal seven years ago, the number of participants has decreased approximately 7% each year. Programme I Maths is good to train children to think logically decrease the participants, based on initial survey results showed that maternal attitudes toward the program I Maths was very varied. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between the perception of the child's mathematical ability and attitude of course I Maths in the mother of program participants learn Maths at First TK Kristen Tri Tunggal Semarang. The population of this research is the mother of program participants learn Maths at First TK Kristen Tri Tunggal Semarang. This study population of 51 mothers and 44 based on table Krecjie samples obtained with Simple Random Sampling technique. Scale used is Mother Attitude Scale of the program I Maths (26 aitem,  = 0,947) and Perceptions Scale for Math Ability Children (21 aitem,  = 0,881). Simple linear regression analysis showed the correlation coefficient rxy = 0.674 and p = 0.000 (p <0.05). Rxy values indicate the direction of positive relations between the two variables is positive, which means that the more positive perceptions of mathematics ability, the more positive the child's mother is also the attitude toward the program I Maths, conversely the more negative perceptions of math ability children also increasingly negative attitude of mothers towards the program I Maths. The coefficient of determination of 0.455 indicates that the perception of the child's mathematical ability to contribute effectively amounted to 45.50% of maternal attitude toward the program I Maths. A percentage of 54.50% can be explained by other factors such as financial, learning duration, the physical condition of children, and others. Keywords: Mother, I Maths program, perception, attitude, ability in mathematics.
