The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of the Primary Years Program (PYP) on the science process skills (SPSs) of children in early childhood education. The study design was quasi-experimental and focused on children attending private schools in Istanbul. In this study, the Science Process Scale developed by Ozkan (2015) was used. Herein, approval for this study was granted by the Ministry of National Education, and consent was given by parents, to determine differences between their preschoolers who were attending an International Baccalaureate (IB) and Ministry of National Education school. Before implementing the PYP, a pretest was applied to the children in the experimental and control groups. After that, the children in the experimental group attended the PYP for 12 weeks. Conversely, the children in the control group attended the program of the Ministry of National Education. Following this 12-week period, the children were given a posttest. When the pretest results were compared after completing the IB program, there were no significant differences between the experimental and control groups. After the 12 weeks, a significant difference was found between the two groups with regards to their SPSs. When analyzed according to the factors, there seemed to be no differences between the two groups. However, at the end of the research, an interesting difference was found between the post and follow-up test results in the experimental group.   Key Words: International Baccalaureate, Primary Years Program, Science Process Skills, Preschool Education.

This research is a classroom action research that aims to improve science process skills in early childhood. Science process skills are children's abilities in thinking and investigating the natural environment around a series of learning processes. These skills are abilities that use reason, reason and effective and efficient actions to achieve certain results. With science process skills children can find facts that occur in their environment. Science process skills in group B children in PAUD Tashwirul Afkar are still low, therefore experimental methods are applied in the learning process to improve the condition. The results of applying experimental methods with natural materials can improve the science process skills of group B children in PAUD Tashwirul Afkar. This is indicated by an increase in the percentage of children's science process skills since the action was taken at the pre-cycle, cycle I and cycle II. At the pre-cycle completeness the overall value of the child is 33%. In the first cycle the overall value of the child is 58% and in the second cycle the overall value of the child is 91%.

One aspect of development that can be developed in early childhood through the field of early childhood education is the aspect of cognitive development. In the cognitive aspect there are capabilities that must be developed, namely the ability to think logically which can be developed through science learning methods for early childhood, one of them through science process skills, where children will learn experiments, explore, and identify the surrounding environment to build their own knowledge with curiosity high so that later it will be useful in his adult life. This research uses quantitative research methods using quasi-experimental research using a nonquivalent group design research design. This study aims to determine the effect of science process skills on children's logical thinking skills. Based on the results of the study it was found that the average gain of the experimental class was 76.14 while the average gain value of the control class was 5.60, which meant that the use of science process skills was effective to improve the logical thinking skills of early childhood. Therefore, this research is recommended to early childhood educators so that science process skills can be used as one of the lessons to improve children's logical thinking skills.Salah satu aspek perkembangan yang dapat dikembangankan pada anak usia dini melalui bidang pendidikan anak usia dini  adalah aspek perkembangannya kognitif. Dalam aspek kognitif terdapat kemampuan yang harus dikembangkan yaitu kemampuan berpikir logis yang dapat dikembangkan melalui metode pembelajaran sains untuk anak usia dini salah satunya melalui keterampilan proses sains, dimana anak akan belajar eksperimen, bereksplorasi, dan mengidentifikasi lingkungan sekitar untuk membangun suatu pengetahuannya sendiri dengan rasa keingintahuannya yang tinggi sehingga nantinya akan bermanfaat pada masa dewasanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian kuasi eksperimen dengan menggunakan desain penelitian kelompok kontrol non-ekuivalen (the nonequivalent grup design). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh keterampilan proses sains terhadap kemampuan berpikir logis anak. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa rata-rata nilai gain kelas eksperimen 76,14 sedangkan rata-rata nilai gain kelas kontrol 5,60 yang artinya penggunaan keterampilan proses sains efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir logis anak usia dini. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini direkomendasikan kepada pendidik anak usia dini agar keterampilan proses sains dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir logis anak.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kebutuhan petunjuk praktikum berbasis Keterampilan Proses Sains (KPS) untuk mencapai kemampuan merancang eksperimen pada materi kalor reaksi kalorimetri. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap peserta didik kelas XI SMA Negeri 2 Kota Tanjungpinang. Variabel penelitian mencakup analisis kebutuhan bahan ajar dan analisis kesesuaian Kompetensi Inti (KI) dan Kompetensi Dasar (KD). Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Tahapan pertama dalam penelitian ini adalah menganalisis kebutuhan bahan ajar dengan cara membandingkan dua petunjuk praktikum yang selama ini telah digunakan di sekolah tersebut, ditinjau dari aspek struktur format penulisan, aspek kreativitas, dan aspek keterampilan proses sains yang terdapat dalam petunjuk praktikum. Sehingga didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa petunjuk praktikum yang selama ini digunakan tidak memberikan kesempatan kepada peserta didiknya untuk merancang eksperimen yang telah ditentukan. Tahapan kedua yaitu menganalisis kesesuaian kompetensi inti dan kompetensi dasar, yang bertujuan untuk menentukan indikator pencapaian kompetensi (IPK) yang akan menjadi acuan dalam mengembangkan petunjuk praktikum berbasis keterampilan proses sains. Dari kedua tahapan yang telah dilakukan maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa peserta didik memerlukan petunjuk praktikum yang mampu mengonstruksi pikiran dan mengaktifkan kinerja mereka, sehingga pendekatan Keterampilan Proses Sains menjadi pilihan dalam mengembangkan petunjuk praktikum yang sesuai dengan karakteristik kurikulum 2013.   This research aims to analyze the needs of Science Process Skills based Practical Instruction to achieve the ability to design experiments on the calor of reaction. This research was done to the students of class XI SMA Negeri 2 Tanjungpinang City. Research Variable includes the analysis of the needs of the learning materials and analysis of the suitability of the Core Competence (KI) and Basic Competence (KD). The type of research conducted is descriptive qualitative research. The first stages in this research is to analyze the needs of learning materials by comparing two practical instructions that had been implementing in the school, from the aspects of the structure of writing format, creativity, and science process skills embedded in practical instructions. The conclusion of this research that current practical instructions does not give an opportunity to the participants to design determined experiments. The second stage, namely analyzing the suitability of core competence and basic competence, which aims to determine the indicators of achievement of the competencies (GPA) which will be a reference in developing process skills-based teaching instructions science. Of the two stages that has been done then it can be concluded that learners need practical instructions to construct  thinking and and their performance, so the Science Process Skills approach is an option in developing practical instruction suitable for the characteristics of the curriculum of 2013.
