The results can be used by educators as feedback in coaching. The results of the validity of the Expert Judgment on the social skills scale instrument conducted by six experts using the Aiken V formula were declared valid with conditions > 0.78 with 18 items valid from 21 items. While the KMO test of 0.58> 0.50 means that the instrument is considered valid as a measuring tool for the social skills scale of elementary school students. Then the reliability test was carried out with Cronbach's Alpha test. Based on the results of field data processed with the SPSS application, it was found that the reliability of Cronbach's Alpha was 0.87> 0.50, meaning that the social skills scale was considered reliable as a means of measuring social skills in elementary school students.

This article, which shows the relationship between the metaphysical principles of natural science and phenomenology, shows precisely how Immanuel Kant, through these principles, contributed to the establishment of the phenomenology of perception. Thus, this article which first shows how Immanuel Kant was able to interpret and understand nature from its metaphysical principles, shows precisely and finally how the phenomenology of perception only became possible through the understanding of its principles. This is why the article then shows how these metaphysical principles of natural science are set up as the condition of possibility of the phenomenology of perception in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty.
