Summary
Keterampilan adalah kemampuan dasar yang melekat pada diri yang kemudian dilatih dan diasah. Keterampilan psikomotorik merupakan keterampilan yang berkaitan dengan kemampuan bertindak setelah seseorang menerima pengalaman belajar tertentu. Kegiatan praktikum dapat melatih peserta didik untuk mengembangkan dan membangun pengetahuan. Menurut (Richard, 2013), praktikum merupakan kegiatan yang berpusa pada pengembangan keterampilan proses, keterampilan motorik serta pembentukan sikap ilmiah.
