Science Process Skills to Improve Learning Outcomes of Elementary School Students

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the impact of implementing a science process skills approach on the learning outcomes of elementary school students in science subjects. The research adopts a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Data collection is conducted through observation, tests, and documentation, with data analysis using descriptive and inferential methods. The results show that the use of the science process skills approach significantly improves students' learning outcomes in science. There is a significant change from low to high scores after the implementation of this approach, indicating its effectiveness in enhancing students' understanding of science concepts. These findings provide empirical support for the success of the science process skills approach, which can serve as a basis for the development of more effective teaching practices in the future.
