<em>Efforts to improve students' understanding of science process skills in learning the Animal Development Structure subject are developing a research-based Practicum Manual for the Animal Development Structure course. The purpose of this research is to develop a research-based Practicum Manual for Animal Development Structure courses that are suitable for use as a learning resource and experiment in the Animal Development Structure course. The development of laboratory engineering modules uses the ADDIE development model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). This research is a development research and uses questionnaire and test instruments. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively and the results were analyzed using the Gain normality test. Experts in developing teaching materials and materials assess that the lecture modules developed are of good qualifications and are suitable for use. The trial results on a limited scale as well as the lecture module field tests are in good qualifications</em>.

Most scientific endeavors require science process skills such as data interpretation, problem solving, experimental design, scientific writing, oral communication, collaborative work, and critical analysis of primary literature. These are the fundamental skills upon which the conceptual framework of scientific expertise is built. Unfortunately, most college science departments lack a formalized curriculum for teaching undergraduates science process skills. However, evidence strongly suggests that explicitly teaching undergraduates skills early in their education may enhance their understanding of science content. Our research reveals that faculty overwhelming support teaching undergraduates science process skills but typically do not spend enough time teaching skills due to the perceived need to cover content. To encourage faculty to address this issue, we provide our pedagogical philosophies, methods, and materials for teaching science process skills to freshman pursuing life science majors. We build upon previous work, showing student learning gains in both reading primary literature and scientific writing, and share student perspectives about a course where teaching the process of science, not content, was the focus. We recommend a wider implementation of courses that teach undergraduates science process skills early in their studies with the goals of improving student success and retention in the sciences and enhancing general science literacy.

Research and development of interactive multimedia development model is adapted from Lee & Owens;the steps were analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results of learningmaterials proportion analysis based curriculum: tissues: organs: totipotensi was 40%: 40%: 20%. Theresults of need analysis of science process skills indicated that students are lack of ability in terms ofgrouping and concluding skill. The analysis also reveals that students need multimedia, which isinteresting and aesthetics. In the design phase, developers create a storyboard based on the results of theanalysis. In development stage, we input all information in storyboard to the media. According to mediaexperts, the product is scored well and very well. Trials phase is conducted in a small groups and largegroups. The results of tests shows that the skills of students increased from 69.34 to 89.30, and knowledgeof students also increased from 75.7 to 91.9. The effectiveness of interactive multimedia structure andfunction of plant tissue seen by the changes in knowledge, performance, and the positive response ofstudents using interactive multimedia and facilitate students doing science process skills.

&lt;p&gt;The work presented in the poster is focused on the analysis of different sand samples in laboratory activities, at the level of middle school Portuguese science education. The role of practical work in offering students the opportunity to experience the process of scientific investigation is one of the arguments for practical work in science education. Students are expected to both learn scientific knowledge and mobilize science process skills whenever they are doing practical activities. Practical work has an important role in helping students to develop links between observations and ideas and to develop students&amp;#8217; understanding of science processes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In sand analysis lab activity the students studied different sand samples under magnification and made observations on the sand grains size, sorting, shape, and composition. The differences in sand samples were related by the students to the depositional environments. For instance, the average size of the sand particles reflects both the strength of the current that carried them and the sizes of the crystals eroded from the parent rock. The range and relative abundance of the various sizes are also significant. The shapes of sand grains can also be important clues to their origin. Sand grains are rounded by abrasion as grains are knocked together during transport. For that reason, angular grains usually imply short distances of transportation. From the composition of sands, it is also possible to deduce the nature of the source areas that were eroded to produce the sand grains. The poster gives some examples of the observations of sand samples, in order to make clear the procedures and the discussion followed in the classroom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The activity presented also intended to promote the development of science process skills with different levels of complexity. The science process skills are considered to be ways of thinking more directly involved in scientific research, such as observing, measuring, predicting, formulating problems and hypotheses, controlling variables and, interpreting data. These aspects are discussed in the poster and some examples of science process skills are given.&lt;/p&gt;

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of guided inquiry-based physics worksheets in training students' science process skills. This case study was conducted at SMAN 4 Sidenreng Rappang with 28 respondents. Students use worksheets based on guided inquiry for four meetings in Hooke's law material. The worksheets were developed using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, including expert validation.  We obtained the expert analysis of student worksheets based on guided inquiry from two experts, namely 3.16 out of 4 Likert scales with a validity percentage of 78.89%. These results indicate that the student worksheets based on guided inquiry are appropriate. Also, the gain test is used to determine the effectiveness of this worksheet. The science process skills test score obtained an average N-gain of 0.69, and this value is included in the medium category. This is shown based on student responses which found that 28 respondents generally gave a positive reaction to guided inquiry-based physics worksheets. This means that students receive guided inquiry-based physics worksheets as an effective learning resource used in learning.

This study aims to develop a physics practicum guide based on science process skills on static fluid material using Kvisoft Flipbook Maker that meets valid criteria or is suitable for use. This study is development research in accordance with the ADDIE model, i.e.: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The science process skills indicator contained in the practicum guide is an indicator of basic and integrated science process skills by Rezba (2007). The practicum guide is validated by material and media experts and produces excellent assessment results so that it is suitable for use in the physics learning process of senior high school, especially on static fluid topic.

This study aims to standardize science process skills (SPS) instruments in microbiology labs. This Type research is quantitative descriptive, which focuses on standardizing instruments. The research subjects were students of the Biology Education Department of FMIPA Universitas Negeri Gorontalo who programed microbiology courses. Validation was carried out by three experts. The results showed that the value of validity was 4.95 in aspects of the assessment of items on SPS and 4.85 in aspects of language ass essment. The results of measurements on science process skills of students have obtained an average of 3.00 in trials I and 3.37 in trial II. The reliability of the instrument in the first trial was 0.81 and in the second trial was 0.82. The results of the research obtained indicate that KPS skill instruments are valid and reliable. The instrument can be used to measure student science process skills, especially in microbiology courses. Future research can compile PPP instruments in other subjects.
