This classroom action research was motivated by the students’ low scientific process skills, learning motivation, and cognitive learning outcomes in natural science. One of the reasons is the lack of teachers’ ability in choosing appropriate learning approach and using of Kit or learning science equipments in natural science learning. Thus, the implementation of Environmental approach with science Kit Seqip to students of class V at SD Negeri 13 Salak Sawahlunto city is one of the ways to solve this problem. The objective of this research is to describe the improvement of the students’ scientific process skills, learning motivation and cognitive learning outcomes in natural science at class V at SDN 13 Salak Sawahlunto by using Environmental approach with science Kit Seqip. The instruments of this research were the observation sheets of students’ scientific process skills and teachers’ activities, the test sheets of students’ cognitive learning outcomes, and the questionnaire sheets of student’ learning motivation. The results showed that there was a significant improvement of students’ scientific process skills, cognitive learning outcomes and learning motivation in natural science class V by using Environmental approach with science Kit Seqip from the first cycle to the second cycle.words.

Keterampilan proses sains serta hasil belajar peserta didik dalam kenyatannya kurang dilatih di sekolah. Sehingga mendorong dilakkan pengembangan bahan ajar berbasis multimodel. Tujuan penelitian pengembangan ini adalah mengperoleh bahan ajar suhu dan kalor yang layak digunakan untuk melatihkan keterampilan proses sains peserta didik. Perangkat pembelajaran dikembangkan dengan model pengembangan ADDIE. Subjek uji coba penelitin pada 31 peserta didik kelas XI MIPA 1 SMA PGRI 6 Banjarmasin. Pengumpulan data penelitian dilakukan melalui validasi bahan ajar, observasi keterlaksanaan RPP dan keterampilan proses sains, serta tes hasil belajar. Teknik analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa: (1) validitas RPP, materi ajar, LKPD dan THB berkategori baik; (2) kepraktisan berdasarkan keterlaksaan RPP berkategori praktis; (3) efektivitas berdasarkan hasil belajar berkategori sedang; dan (4) keterampilan proses sains yang berkategori baik. Diperoleh simpulan bahwa bahan ajar suhu dan kalor yang dikembangkan adalah layak digunakan untuk melatihkan keterampiln proses sains peserta didik.Science process skills and learning outcomes of the students are not adequately trained in school, encouraging the development of multimodel-based teaching materials. This development research aims to obtain a suitable temperature and heat teaching material used to train students' science process skills. Learning developed using the development model tools were ADDIE. Research trial subjects were 31 students of Class XI MIPA 1 SMA PGRI 6 Banjarmasin. Research data collection is done through validating teaching materials, observing the implementation of lesson plans and science process skills, and learning achievement tests. The data analysis technique was done descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study prove that: (1) the validity of lesson plans, teaching materials, student worksheets and good learning outcomes tests; (2) practicality based on the implementation of RPP categorized as practical; (3) effectiveness based on moderate learning outcomes; and (4) good scientific process skills. It was concluded that the temperature and heat teaching material developed was appropriate for training students' scientific process skills.

The research aims to determine “the Impact of Scientific Creative Thinking Skills on Scientific Process Skills”. Thus, the research was performed with 24 teacher candidates in the control group and 24 teacher candidates in the experimental group in the second class of the Department of Science Teaching in a university in Istanbul Province. In the experimental group of the research, the laboratory program to be designed by the researchers on the basis of scientific discussion and research; and in the control group, the conventionally designed laboratory program were applied for an academic semester. The research data was gained through “Scientific Creativity Test” to be developed by Hu and Adey [14] and adapted by Kadayıfçı [16]; “Scientific Process Skills Test” to be developed by Okey, Wise and Burns, and adapted by Geban, Aşkar and Özkan into Turkish. The conclusions to be reached by the research are in favour of the experimental group and the last application, and it has positive impact on the opinions of the teacher candidates related with the development of the scientific creativity skills.

This study examined the effects of inquiry-based biology laboratory applications on pre-service biology teachers’ scientific process skills, attitudes, self-efficacy, and self-confidence in the laboratory. In this context, many related tests and scales were applied to first-year students of biology education (N=25). The research adopted the pre-test and post-test control group model. The results showed that laboratory practices based on both the corroborative and the guided inquiry approach increase the scientific process skills of the prospective teachers. Guided inquiry-based laboratory practices have increased the attitudes of pre-service biology teachers toward laboratory lessons. However, self-efficacy and self-confidence of the pre-service teachers taking part in corroborative laboratory practices increased, while guided inquiry methods did not have a significant effect on self-efficacy and self-confidence. The findings of the study highlighted the importance of a guided inquiry approach in the laboratory applications related training of pre-service biology teachers.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile learning app based on collaborative learning in authentic environment (known as AKSES) and its impact on the preschool students’ basic scientific process skills competency namely; observation, classification and communication. In addition, the study also investigated competency patterns of the students’ skills. This study was a quantitative study which used two sets of instruments which looked into AKSES application and marking rubrics of the students’ basic scientific process skills. Based on quasi-experimental study, the duration of the study was seven weeks and six learning activities were implemented. Two rural preschools were selected based on quota sample selection and 25 students were in each controlled and treatment groups. Analysis of the survey data was carried out in the form of descriptive and inferential analysis involving Mann-Whitney U test. The Mann-Whitney U test analysis found significant differences in competency patterns of basic scientific process skills in both groups. Meanwhile, the competency patterns of basic scientific process skills indicated positive increase among all preschool students after the utilization of AKSES application in learning activities based on collaborative learning strategy in an authentic environment.

The purpose of this research is to know how big the role of mastery of knowledge and science process skills to improve scientific creativity, using C3PDR teaching model, that is teaching model that encourage and utilize knowledge mastery, science process skill, creative thinking technique and motivation to improve student's scientific creativity. The data used are the results of pre-test and post-test of: the mastery of knowledge, scientific process skills and scientific creativity, as a result of the implementation of the model conducted in the 2015/2016 learning year. The sample of this research is 160 students of 8th grade divided into 5 classes in two schools in Samarinda city. The magnitude of the role is expressed by the coefficient of determination (r2) and the probability value (p). Scores of the mastery of knowledge, scientific process skills and scientific creativity are grouped into 5 levels. Data were analyzed using Kendall Tau test b. The results showed: 1) mastery of knowledge plays a significant role to increase of scientific creativity by 30% indicated by the mode r2> 0.3 and p mode <0.0001, in the weak category, 2) the science process skills play a significant role of 20% indicated by the mode r2> 0.20 and p mode <0.0001, in the weak category. Mastery of knowledge that plays a role in scientific creativity is the mastery of knowledge more broadly and in more detail. The science process skills that plays a role in scientific creativity is of determining the variables. How the role of mastery of knowledge and skills of scientific processes in enhancing scientific creativity is discussed in this article.
