dominant role of educators on a student so that in the extreme

it can be said that the educational method is dictatorial which
does not involve the innate factors of students. In this case the

educator is centric and very decisive.

In the theory of convergence, William Stern, the
development of an individual is determined by a combination

of two elements, namely innate elements and external factors.
Therefore, the methodology used here is a methodology that

has a balance between innate and external factors, which is
called the democratic method. In this method, the focus of

attention is the students and educators. Students are seen from

innate potential: talent, desire and will. On the other hand,
educators are facilitators and also have a compulsion to things

that are very principal and misleading.
In terms of Minang customs, there is a belief that if a

child makes a mistake, the first response given by the
community is “whose child is that” or “who is the father”. This

question has two meanings, the first means that it is not known

who the parents of the child are, and the second has a
connotative meaning, as if the question already contains an

answer, in which the child's parents are known to have bad

character.
