 01
Understanding Science
Process Skills
Skill is the ability to use thoughts, reason, and actions efficiently and
effectively to achieve a certain result, including creativity. Process is
defined as a complex set of skills that scientists use in conducting
scientific research. Process is a big concept that can be broken down
into components that must be mastered by someone when conducting
research.

science process skills are students' ability to apply scientific methods

in understanding, developing and discovering knowledge. Science
Process Skills are very important for every student as a provision to
use the scientific method in developing science and are expected to
acquire new knowledge or develop the knowledge already possessed
 02
Implementation of
Science Process Skills
 Science Process Skills consist of a number of specific skills which
are described in the following discussion :
• Observe • Planning Experiments
• Grouping/classifying, • Using tool & Materials
• Interpreting information, • Application of Concepts or
• Predict Principles
• Asking Question • Communicate
• Hypothesize • Experiment Execution
 03
Measuring Science
Process Skills
Measurement of students' process skills can be done using written instruments.
The measurement can be carried out by means of a test (paper and pencil test)
and not a test. Assessment through tests can be done in the form of a written test
(paper and pencil test). While the assessment through non-test can be done in the
form of observation or observation :

 Main Characteristics of Science Process Skills Test

General characteristics, namely :
a. The subject of the process skills test should not be burdened with concepts.
This is done so that the test subject is not confused with the measurement of
mastery of the concept. The concepts involved must be believed by the
compilers of the test subjects that students have learned or are familiar to
students.
b. Contains a number of information that must be processed by respondents or
students. The information can be pictures, diagrams, graphs, data in tables
or descriptions, or the original object.
c. Aspects to be measured must be clear and contain only one aspect, for
example interpretation.
Special characteristics, namely:

 Observations must be from actual objects or events

● Interpretation must present a number of data to show patterns
● Classification must have the opportunity to look for/find similarities and
differences
● Predictions must have clear patterns or trends to be able to make predictions or
predictions
● Communicating there must be one particular form of presentation to be changed
to another form of presentation, for example the form of a description to a chart
form or a table to a graphic form.
● Hypothesizing can formulate conjectures or tentative answers
● Planning an experiment or investigation should provide an opportunity to propose
ideas regarding the tools/materials to be used
● Applying a concept or principle must create a concept/principle to be applied
without mentioning the name of the concept.
● Asking a question must bring up something surprising, impossible, unusual or
contractual so that the respondent or student is motivated to ask.
 Preparation of Basic Science Process Skills Test
In the preparation of the PPP test subject, it is better to select a certain concept and
then present a number of information that needs to be processed. After that, determine
the form of the answer requested, for example a cross, a check mark, or write down 3
short answers and then prepare questions to get the expected answers. For example,
test observation skills about the parts of a flower.

 Giving the Main Score of the Science Process Skills Test

The subject matter of the process skills test requires scoring in a certain way. Each
correct response is given a score with a certain weight, for example 1 each for the
observation test subject above, which means the total score is 5. For more complex
responses, for example making questions, scores can be varied based on the level of
difficulty. For example, a question with a hypothetical background is given a score of
3; what, why, how questions were scored 2; questions that ask for an explanation are
given a score of 1 (Rustaman, 2003).

Science Process Skills
Assessment
Assessment in process skills is rather difficult to do through written tests
compared to observation techniques. However, using a combination of the
two assessment techniques can improve the accuracy of the assessment of
science process skills.

1. Assessment of process skills through written test

2. Assessment of process skills through non-test
