ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the attitudes of elementary school students towards any challenging task of learning science, especially during the covid 19 pandemic. In this study, the attitude characteristics observed were general attitude towards ideas and information, attitudes related to the evaluation of ideas and information, a commitment to a particular scientific belief such as loyalty to truth. The research was quantitative research. The research participants were elementary school students in grades 4-6 who received science lessons as many as 96 male and female students. The technique of collecting data is by interviewing online or through filling out google forms and observing. Quantitative data is analyzed by quantitative description. The interview data analysis technique for attitude uses qualitative analysis, namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. Qualitative data analysis assisted by ATLAS ti 8 Windows software. The results of the phased study of student attitudes during the pandemic showed that most of the students' attitudes towards competitiveness were happy with challenging assignments but had to be with parental participation or guidance. As for students whose parents are less attentive, their attitude does not show a positive attitude and their learning outcomes are not good.
