This research was conducted to identify the science process skills of the physics education students of Jambi University in prism refraction practicum after using the basic physics practicum guidebook II. This research is a quantitative descriptive method. The study was conducted with a sample of 91 students. Data collection techniques were carried out using a science process skill observation sheet which was supported by interviews and documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that most students are highly skilled in implementing science process skills-based practicum with the following percentages: observing by 48.35%, classifying by 38.46%, measuring by 39.56%, predicting by 58.64%, compiling data tables by 51.65%, making graph by 58.24%, planning the experiment by 61.54%, and conducting the experiment by 45.05%. The students were also quite skilled in constructing hypotheses and defining variables with the percentage of 57.14% and 39.56%, respectively. The results of the study are expected to be used as a consideration for study programs and other faculties at Jambi University as well as other universities to conduct related studies.
The Jambi University Physics Education Study Program has developed a Basic Physics II practicum guidelines based on science process skills that valid and reliable. However, there has not been a large scale implementation to determine the effectiveness of the guidelines. The purpose of this study was to determine the mastery of student science process skills after using the Basic Physics II practicum guidelines based on science process skills on refraction subject mater. This research is a quantitative research type of pre-experimental design with the One-Shot Case Study. The research sample was the Physics Education second year students of Jambi University, amounting to 87 people. Data collection is done by observing using observation sheets about science process skills. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that students were very good at mastering science process skills after using practicum guidelines based on science process skills. Percentage of mastery of science process skills for refraction practicum on parallel plan glass including: observation 64.84%; experimental planning: 64.84%; prediction 61.54%; conducting experiment 53.85%; measuring 49.45% and variabel identification 28.57%. On average, students were very good at mastering science process skills in refraction practicums in prisms with their respective percentages: planning experiments 61.54%; prediction 58.24%; observation 48.35%; conducting experiment 45.05%; measuring 39.56% and identifying variables 32.97%.
This study aims to determine differences in mastery of process skills science student physics and chemistry education study programs both in the experimental class and control class. The experimental class uses a science process skill-based guide with the inquiry model, while the control class uses conventional guidance. This research is a quantitative type of experimental research with a group comparison design static. The research sample was 201 students. Observations are made by using the observation sheet instrument. The results of this study indicate that there are differences in the mastery of science process skills between students using an inquiry model practicum guide and students who use conventional practicum manuals in each study program. Based on the results of hypothesis testing using an independent sample t-test at a significance level of 5%, a significance value of 0.000 was obtained in the study program physics and chemistry education. Where based on statistical parameters used it can be concluded that the mastery of science process skills in the experimental class is better than the mastery of science process skills in the control class.
