Abstract

This study aims to analyze the science process skills of students by studying indicators of basic science process skills through inorganic chemistry practicum experiments on the properties of alkaline earth elements. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method. The research sample was 30 students of 2020 chemistry education who took the structure and reactivity of inorganic compounds. Data collection techniques are carried out by observing practical activities. The instrument used was a science process skill observation sheet with a skill score used was a Likert scale. The results showed that the students’ science process skills with a percentage of 70.67% were in the high category. The percentage details for each science process skill indicator include the ability to observe and ask questions with a percentage of 77.50% and 75.00% in the high category, respectively. The scores for making hypotheses and planning experiments in the medium category were 58.33% and 62.50%, respectively. The indicator uses practical tools and materials with a percentage of 75.83% in the high category, applying the concepts that have been studied in the high category with a percentage of 70.83%. The indicator scores for classifying and predicting are 80.00% in the high category and 69.58% in the high category, respectively. The students’ ability in interpreting data and communicating was 78.33% in the high category and 58.75% in the medium category. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the inorganic chemistry practicum activities that have been carried out can analyze students’ science process skills. This study found several recommendations, first, science process skills must be applied in every science lesson, especially for chemistry education lecturers because it is a major part of the educational curriculum. Second, the science process skills of prospective teacher students must be improved on the indicators of making hypotheses and communicating by being trained intensively in each learning process.
