INTRODUCTION
WHO states that the age limit for adolescents is 10-19 years. The number of adolescents in Indonesia according to population census data in 2020 is estimated at 67 million people or as much as 24% of the total or total population of Indonesia.
So that adolescents become the focus of important attention in national development (Pusdatin, 2017). Contribution to BKKBN's national priority programs is by increasing maternal child health, family planning and reproductive health with a strategic focus, one of which is on increasing knowledge and access to adolescent reproductive health services. Behavior in adolescents is closely related to reproductive health problems, adolescent behavior that is at risk for example smoking, alcohol addiction, drug use and sexual intercourse before 209 marriage. In 2017 the results of the IDHS survey obtained data on adolescent smoking as much as 55% of adolescent boys and 1% of adolescent girls, drug abuse as much as 15% of adolescent boys and 1% adolescent girls, alcohol consumption 5% of adolescent boys, and already engaged in premarital sex as much as 1% of adolescent girls. (BKKBN, 2018).
The period of rapid changes in physical, psychological and intellectual growth and development is in adolescence. One of the characteristics possessed by a teenager is to have a great curiosity, like all things that are adventurous, challenging and more likely to dare to act first without careful consideration of the risks that might occur. Improper decision-making in a teenager when conflict occurs can cause the adolescent to be in risky behavior both short and long term, especially in physical and psychological health problems. Adolescent care health services are needed in this case so that adolescents can meet their health needs, including reproductive health services. The result of human curiosity in something and the desire to achieve a better life and human effort in meeting current or future needs is knowledge. Knowledge is very necessary and can be a major factor in shaping one's actions or behavior, because with knowledge can result in a human being will act according to the knowledge he has. So that with the knowledge of a teenager on his reproductive health, there will be efforts to prepare for puberty that will be experienced by a teenager. (Ratih, et al. 2020).
During puberty there are many changes in the body that a child undergoes.
These changes can be traumatic experiences, if there is no early preparation (Candra Dewi, 2012). At this time the importance of knowledge about adolescent physical changes, because at this time there is a lot of pressure with physical, biological changes and the insistence of environmental changes that require a process of adjustment in adolescents, for example, sexual development in adolescents takes place the fastest of various cycles in humans. So it is important for adolescents to know and understand the sexual development they face. Teenagers' ignorance of the many changes that occur in their bodies can cause embarrassment and anxiety, teenagers tend to just wonder, what should be done but they tend to be embarrassed in expressing it. (Ratih. et al. 2020).
The existence of adolescent reproductive health programs has the aim of providing good knowledge to children so that a child can live his adolescence without shame and anxiety and can maintain and maintain his health with the aim of entering a family life with healthy reproduction. The information provided about reproductive health so far by the Ministry of Health Program is only often targeted at junior and senior high school students. While elementary school students are still rarely exposed to knowledge about reproductive health, this is considering what WHO has mentioned that the age limit for adolescents is starting from the age of analysis. In this study, the analysis used was using the chi-square test. Before the study, an ethical test was carried out first, where this ethical test, used to see whether Kurniasari et al. : The Relationship Between Knowledge… Indonesian Midwifery andHealth Sciences Journal, 2023, 7 (3), 208-2015 211 or not this research was feasible, was carried out on humans. Ethics are carried out at the Institut Ilmu Kesehatan Bhakti Wiyata Kediri.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Based on the results of the analysis of general data of respondents based on, age, and gender show: Based on table 1 shows that the average age of elementary school children in grades 4, 5 and 6 is the most 11 years old or around 38.7%, the age of 11 years has been included in the category of early adolescence, the more someone gets older, the more they will increase one's knowledge with the experience done. The above results also show that the most gender is men around 42.56% or a total of 42 people, and more than women around 33.44%.  Table 2 shows that the level of knowledge of elementary school children about reproductive health is in the high category with a frequency of 41 or 54.6% and for those who have low knowledge with a frequency of 34 or 45.4%.  Table 3 shows that for the level of reproductive health behavior of elementary school children who have good behavior there are 39 children or 52% and for bad behavior around 36 children or 48%.. The results of this study are in line with research conducted by Bawental, et al (2019) in Manado City stating that knowledge significantly affects premarital sexual behavior in adolescents. This is also supported by research by Atik and Susilowati (2021) stating that knowledge plays an important role in changing a person's behavior which can change behavior to negative or positive, this research was conducted at SMK Semarang Regency with chi-squere test results p = 0.000.
According to notoatmodjo (2011) states that the less knowledge, the tendency of a person to do good behavior will also be less. This opinion is reinforced by the results of research from Yusfarani (2022) which states that from a total of 79.0% of respondents have a high attitude towards knowledge with a chi-squere value of p = 0.000. The impact that can arise due to the absence of knowledge about reproductive health can cause many problems, ranging from health problems to socioeconomic problems (Septiana, 2020). In sexual acts can be manifested in various ways, ranging from feeling attracted to dating, making out and intercourse (Kesume & Margo, 2021). This shows that knowledge plays an important role in determining an attitude and behavior, with good knowledge it is hoped that the behavior is also good so that problems, especially to adolescents, can be reduced by providing information from an early age
