The Innovation on Biological Learning with Science Process Skills using Student Worksheet

Abstract

This study aims to develop Student Worksheets (SW) based on Science Process Skills (SPS) in ecosystem material that using a development research model that refers to the four D (4D) model initiated by Thiagarajan. This model consists of the define phase, design phase, develop stage, and disseminate stage. The subject of research is students in class X at Senior High School in Makassar city, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The results based on the analysis of the data obtained that the first is Student Worksheets based on Science Process Skills are in the "Valid" category. The second is the practicality of Science Process skill (SPS)-based Students Worksheet (SW). After limited testing, this research showed that both teacher and student responses are in the "Very positive" category." The results of the N-Gain analysis in the experiment using the Students Worksheets based on Science Process Skills was in the" High "category. This research found that "Students Worksheets based on science process skills" could be developed in the valid, practical, and effective category. Thus, learning using Students Worksheets based on Science Process Skills comprises an innovation in Biology learning especially in Ecosystem materials.
