factors include the ability to express in activity and
the ability to communicate / interact.
Kinesthetic abilities in expressing themselves are
often missed by teachers as educators in the
classroom. Self-expression through interest, care,
responsibility, often still not become the emphasis of
learning. The ability of students to control self-
movements is considered all the same. And this
becomes wrong when the behavior that appears
through expression is not in accordance with the
teacher's expectations in learning. Self-reliance
planting is intended to show the balance of
coordination between readiness, willingness and
responsibility in life span, especially in learning.
The ability to interact with other people both
individually and in groups is the basis of whether a
person is accepted in his relationship in the field of
education and other areas of life. Communication and
interaction that is built with the teacher, fellow
friends, other people within the scope of education,
society and the environment affect the success of the
individual personally. Because communication skills
are very effective in supporting success and this
ability is also a challenge for the 21st century
generation. Interpersonal skills are not only
transformed into mere intelligence, but are more of a
primary need that must be possessed by everyone.
The formation of skills that support creativity
becomes very important in learning. Learning does
not only look at learning outcomes as the final
achievement but more on life skills. Modification of
learning activities will have a major effect on the
assessment of learning that affects the retention and
motivation of students (Roof and Kreuitter, 2010).
Globalization is an era that must be faced.
Diversity that arises and develops in society becomes
something that cannot be rejected. This requires being
able to be part of the existence of others on the one
hand, and letting others take part in life on the other
side. Humans live as a whole. This according to
Sitorus (2013) is a characteristic of humanity that is
the capital for the development of innovation,
initiative, and creativity.
Some forms of ability that support the
development of innovation, initiative, and creativity
include independence and the ability to communicate
/ interact (Interpersonal Skill). Independence
according to Mustari (2011) is an attitude and
behavior that is not easy to depend on others in
completing tasks. According to Aunillah (2011),
children's independence means they are able to meet
their own needs while being responsible for
themselves. Independence according to Desmita
(2009) will be characterized by the ability to
determine self-determination, creative, and initiative,
regulate behavior, be responsible, be able to hold
back, and be able to make their own decisions,
overcoming problems without the influence of others.
Based on a theoretical study of independence, the
indicators set are 1) having a strong desire to learn for
their own sake, 2) the ability to serve their own needs,
and 3) having high self-confidence in completing the
tasks for which they are responsible.
Interpersonal skills are increasingly needed in
supporting interaction effectiveness. Interpersonal
skills are life skills used to communicate and interact
with others, both individually and in groups. Personal
character development through the development of
positive social relationships that individuals be
associated with the community, develop a sense of
belonging and learning to live and work with others.
According to Johnson (2002) that the process of
interpersonal skills consists of 4 things. These four
things are to know and trust someone through
openness, communicate with each other precisely and
clearly, accept and support and respond and pay
attention to other people's problems and communicate
acceptance and support appropriately, and resolve
conflicts in dealing with others constructively.
Interpersonal skill indicators set out in this study
include 1) responding and attention to the focus of
conversation / communication, 2) the courage to
express opinions, and 3) the ability to interact.
Independence and Interpersonal Skills are
tangible habits, attitudes, behavior, appearance, and
behavior around others that affect how to move and
how to get along with others. These skills are
indicators to prepare yourself to be successful and
productive in life.
2.2 Child Friendly Learning
Schools must develop a climate and culture that is full
of friendliness, tolerance and mutual respect among
fellow civitas, education staff and the community.
Various activities created make students still feel
happy, comfortable, and safe learning in school.
Sharing of academic and non-academic activities is
designed and implemented to shape the characters
and personality that are superior and resilient in the
face of changing times. Academic and non-academic
activities should not be separated from the conditions
of the surrounding environment. Students are trained
to have a good sense of conscience towards others and
the environment.
The creation of child-friendly learning must be
supported by various parties, including teachers,
students, school environment, and community
