Abstract

This study aims to describe the competence of Earth and space knowledge of prospective science teacher students. Learning is carried out with the perspective of Field-Project Based Learning, students are asked to make direct observations of the components of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere in their living environment. Competencies from observations made by students include the ability to determine objects, knowledge of objects, and understanding of objects in their environment. The results of observations carried out are reported in the form of a written report supported by personal documentation in the form of photos of objects (lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere), explanations of the selected objects based on reality connected with references that have been obtained. The results of the study indicate that the ability to determine objects, understanding and knowledge of students is excellent so that learning Earth and Space Sciences is in accordance with Field-Project Based Learning

Highlights

Natural Sciences is one of the subjects that contains knowledge about natural objects based on exact laws that apply anywhere and anytime (Wikipedia, 2015)
Learning Earth and Space Sciences covers broad topics that need to be taught to university students, especially to prospective science teacher students who will later become educators at the secondary school level
That students can connect their existing knowledge with evidence or new ideas they get. This inquiry activity is in accordance with IPBA learning, where students learn about the theory and direct observations of phenomena that exist on Earth

Summary

Introduction

Natural Sciences is one of the subjects that contains knowledge about natural objects based on exact laws that apply anywhere and anytime (Wikipedia, 2015). Earth and Space Sciences is a branch of Natural Science that studies natural phenomena on Earth and celestial bodies in the solar system and the universe as a whole (Handhita, Akhlis, & Marwoto, 2016). That students can connect their existing knowledge with evidence or new ideas they get This inquiry activity is in accordance with IPBA learning, where students learn about the theory and direct observations of phenomena that exist on Earth. This is supported by the opinion of Park (2021), which explains that learning earth and space science should be designed to provide opportunities for students to Jurnal Penelitian Pendidikan IPA (JPPIPA)
