Exploring Generic Skill of Student in Science through Disconnection Approach in Organic Synthesis

Abstract

The study aims to determine to students' generic skill in science by learning disconnection approach in organic synthesis. Participants of this study were 16 students from the department of chemistry education from one of state universities in Indonesia. The research method was a quasi-experimental by using only one pre-test and post-test group design. The data shows that the highest N gain value of generic skill in science was found in indirect observation that have N gain 0.8 and the lowest value 0,446 in logical consistency questions. While in the concept of formation and the causality had N gain value of 0.596 and 0.634, respectively. Moreover, the N gain value in indirect observation had high criteria, but the other indicators had medium criteria.
