Evaluation of science process skills of high school students in Tapaktuan City on static fluid material

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative research aims to evaluate the profile of students’ physics process skills. This research was conducted at a secondary school in the city of Tapaktuan. The population in this study were all students of class X MIPA SMA in Tapaktuan. The sample in this study was grade X MIPA 3 students who tested 20 people. Data collection techniques were used in this study through a multiple choice test instrument. Profile of high school students ‘science process skills in Tapaktuan City, it can be concluded that: the average high school students’ science process skills in Tapaktuan City are low (less), 0% are in the high category, 25% are in the medium category, and 75% are in the low category. The achievement of each aspect of skill varies. In the aspect of observation, classification and interpretation of good categories, aspects of prediction, hypothesis, selection of variables, conducting experiments and communicating are in the sufficient category, while in aspects of asking questions, planning experiments and applying concepts are in the lacking category. The science process skills of high school physics students in Tapaktuan for each aspect of science process skills are still low, with an average percentage of 48.9%.
