Abstract
Science process skill is one of the important skills possessed by students in studying Biology. That is because the process of learning Biology cannot be separated from scientific processes, such as observing, experimenting, and analyzing activities. Good science process skills are believed to be able to help students understand Biology concepts easily and correctly. The purpose of this study was to analyze the science process skills possessed by high school students in Cilegon city. This research was conducted in February 2019, the sample was taken using the simple random sampling method with a total sample of 35 students. The research used descriptive quantitative method. Data was collected by the science process skills test instrument. The results show that the average score of science process skills possessed by students is still categorized as sufficient, because the average value of science process skills obtained from 35 students were 58.
Highlights
Biology is a science that cannot be separated from scientific activities
Scientific activities are closely related to the Biology learning process, because Biology learning cannot be separated from the scientific process, such as observing, experimenting, and analyzing activities
The valid instrument was distributed to senior high school students to measure their science process skills score
Summary
Biology is a science that cannot be separated from scientific activities. Biology is closely related to activities in finding out and understanding nature in a systematic way, so that learning requires knowledge in the form of facts, concepts, and or principles and requires a scientific process [1]. Science process skill is one of the important skills possessed by students in conducting scientific activities. Science process skills are believed to be able to improve scientific literacy [2], help students understand Biology concepts and correctly. Students are required to be active in discovering the main concepts of Biology material through observation, experimentation, drawing pictures, graphs, tables, and communicating the results to others [3]
