Analysis of high school students’ science process skills

Abstract

This research aims to describe the Science Process Skills of high school students on elasticity material. This research used descriptive methods. The respondents involved in this research were 25 students from XI IPA 2 SMA N 4 Madiun. The instruments used were 10 multiple choice tests and questionnaires for Science Process Skills. Science Process Skills in this research are basic Science Process Skills consisting of 5 aspects of indicators. The indicator aspects of the Science Process Skills in question are observing, concluding, identifying and manipulating variables, predicting and interpreting data. The indicator aspect of Science Process Skills that has the lowest percentage of 30% is the conclude aspect, while the highest skill is the Science Process Skills in the indicatorsaspect of identifying and manipulating variables, and interpreting aspects of data where each indicator has an equal percentage of 50%, for observing indicators have a percentage of 40% and indicators predict by 34%. The results of this study indicate students in SMA Negeri 4 Madiun on material elasticity material have Science Process Skills with an average value of 40.8% which is included in the low category.
