The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using a 5Es learning model on the pre-service science teachers? conceptual understanding and science process skills for ?gases and gas laws?. The sample of the study consisted 49 pre-service science teachers enrolled for the ?Science Laboratory Practices-I? course within the department of science education of a Turkish state university. Through a quasi-experimental research method (pre- and post- -test research design), an experimental group was exposed to the 5Es learning model (engage-explore-explain-elaborate-evaluate) with different conceptual change methods/techniques (i.e., worksheets, computer animations, analogies and experiments). A control group was also taught through existing instruction (e.g., experiments, lecture and question?answer). Data were collected through the gas laws test and the science process skills test. The results of partial eta squared (?2) revealed large-size effects for the control (0.61) and experimental groups (0.73). The 5Es learning model was more effective than the existing instruction in overcoming the pre-service science teachers? alternative conceptions of ?gases and gas laws?, as well as in improving their science process skills. The current study recommends that the 5Es learning model be tested with a larger sample throughout a long-term teaching intervention.

The purpose of this study is to describe the application of Focus, Explore, Reflect, and Apply (FERA) learning model in improving science process skills for a pre-service science teacher in primary school. The stages of learning using the FERA learning model consist of four stages, namely focus, explore, reflect, and apply. The sample of this study was the students in the Primary School Teacher Education Study Program at STKIP Sebelas April Sumedang. This research was conducted using Quasy-Experimental method with Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The effectiveness of the treatment was obtained by giving the pretest and posttest to each class one time. The research data was processed by analyzing N-gain, normality test, and average difference using the Wilcoxon and Man Withney U tests. The results showed that the experimental class and the control class had significant mean differences between the science process skills data on pretest and posttest. This shows that learning using the FERA model is more effective in improving science process skills for pre-service primary school science teachers.

This research aims at investigating the effectiveness of the Predict-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain (PEODE) based laboratory work activities on pre-service science teachers’ science process skills. A quasi-experimental research model with pre- and post-test via control group was employed in the research. The semi-experimental study was based on 46 pre-service science teachers enrolled in the primary Science Education Program a state university. In the research, randomly selected two groups were used, one experimental group (EG; n = 22) and one control group (CG; n = 24). While the control group participated in traditional laboratory activities work, the experimental group took part in the PEODE-based laboratory work activities. Laboratory activities were carried out in both groups for a total of 9 weeks, two hours a week. Science process skills test (SPST) measuring five different scientific process skills were presented to them as pre- and post-test in order to assess pre-service science teachers’ science process skills. The test scores were analyzed quantitatively with a statistical analysis program. At the end of the research, while there was no significant differences total score of the SPST, significant statistical differences were found between the experimental and control groups in "Making Operational Comments" and "Designing the Research" sub-skills.

This research is motivated by the learning process carried out in class V of SD Negeri 8 Metro Timur, SD Negeri 1 Metro Barat, SD Negeri 1 Metro Utara dan SD Negeri 5 Metro Pusat. The implementation of the learning process carried out by teachers who generally still use conventional learning methods and models that are only fixated on books and more teacher-centered, students listen to explanations from the teacher, take notes, memorize information and work on problems. practice questions rather than doing practical activities through experiments or experiments. As a result, the learning process becomes less attractive and seems monotonous because students tend to be passive and less participatory in learning activities. Teachers lack innovation in the use of active and innovative methods or learning models that are more student centered. That is, learning that provides more opportunities for students to construct independently the process of understanding material through a more active learning process through search activities and problem solving. In response to this, researchers conduct learning using a project based learning learning model with the aim of improving students' science process skills and scientific literacy skills. The purpose of this study was to describe the influence of the PjBL model on process skills and scientific literacy skills. The type of this study is quasi-experimental research using the design of nonequivalent groups pre test-post test from Fraenkel and Wallen. The design of nonequivalent groups pre test - post test was started by setting the experimental group and the control group, then doing the pre test, followed by giving treatment to the two classes and ending with a post test. The subjects in this study were fifth grade elementary school students in Metro City. Data collection techniques in the form of tests. The research instrument is a spatial literacy test sheet. Data were analyzed using normality test and Mann Whitney test. The results of this study indicate that the PjBL model can improve science process skills and higher scientific literacy skills compared to groups of students who get conventional learning. Keywords: skills of science literacy, skills of science process, elementary students.
