Research has shown that integrated science process skills are crucial in the modern-day world. In this study, we used secondary school students enrolled in the science classes to determine the role of cooperative instructional strategy on the students integrated science process skill. Ninety-eight students participated in the study. We adopted a pre-test post-test research design in the study. The participants were grouped into two different groups for the pre-test and post-test studies. The experimental group was exposed to the cooperative instructional teaching method, while the control group was taught conventionally. Test of Integrated Science Process Skills (TISPS) was used to assess the participants integrated science process skills. An independent-samples t-test was run to determine if there were differences between the experimental and the control groups on integrated science process skills in the post-test study. The integrated science process skills increased in the experimental group (4.71 ± 4.91) than the control group (23.01 ± 4.27), a statistically significant difference of 18.68 (95% CI, 16.83 to 20.54), t (96) = 20.026, p = .001 was established. It was concluded that cooperative instructional strategy enhances students performance integrated science process skills. The study recommends that teachers should be regularly trained on the use of cooperative instructional strategies.

Přehledová studie prezentuje strukturu dovedností, které pomáhají rozvíjet vědecké myšlení žáků. V první části studie jsou uvedena východiska, která ukazují, že obecný rozumový vývoj dítěte může být zlepšen určitým přístupem k výuce základů přírodních věd, jenž spočívá v důrazu na rozvoj metakognitivních kompetencí. V druhé části studie je prezentováno třináct dovedností (ve smyslu způsobilostí k vědecké práci), které podporují rozvoj vědeckého myšlení žáků. Ty jsou rozděleny na základní dovednosti (basic science proces skills ) a vyšší (integrované) dovednosti (integrated science process skills ). Ke každé dovednosti jsou uvedeny příklady učebních činností, které jsou využitelné v běžné školní výuce. Předložená struktura dovedností a příklady aktivit mohou být východiskem pro vytváření dalších činností, které budou žákům pomáhat v rozvoji jejich vědeckého myšlení.

Improve Student Learning

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the integrated science learning type connected to achieving basic competencies and improving science process skills. This study uses a 4-D development model that is defined, design, develop, and disseminate with one-group posttest design implemented in 5th-semester students of Chemistry Education, University of Bengkulu. The research instrument is a posttest question to measure learning outcomes and observation sheets to measure science process skills. The teaching materials used are sourced from part of the process and the results of the activity test of palm oil endophytic bacteria ethyl acetate extract against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. by TLC-bioautography is packaged in the form of learning videos. The results showed that the Integrated Science type of Connected model was used effectively to improve student learning outcomes and science process skills.

This study aims to determine the description of students towards the use of ICT-based convex mirror material guidebooks. The population of this study was the students of the Jambi University physics education class program in 2018. The sampling technique used total sampling, so that the sample of this study was all physical education students at the University of Jambi with 105 students in class 2018 Indicators of observed process skills included the identification of variables, making tables data, Make a graph, Explain the relationship between variables, Obtain and process data, Analyze investigations, Make hypotheses, Identify variables by ovational, design experiments, and conduct experiments. Process skill data is measured through a basic physics practicum performance evaluation sheet, when practitioners conduct convex mirror practicum activities. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis shows that the average Science Process Skills are categorized as good and very good, this shows that students have mastered the integrated Science Process Skills. The results of this study are expected to be a consideration for physics study programs to conduct related studies for other practicum subjects.

And Gender

The study examined the effect of Context Based Learning (CBL) and gender influence on chemistry students’ acquisition of Integrated Science Process Skills (ISPS). Two research questions guided the study. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 192 participants who had an average age of 15. Three instruments were used in data collection. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The results showed that Context Based Learning (CBL) had more effect on students’ Integrated Science Process Skills (ISPS) in chemistry. Students exposed to CBL pedagogy acquired more Experimental Skill (EXPS) than Analyzing and Interpreting Data Skill (ANIDS) with Identifying and Controlling Variables Skill (ICVS) the least. Also, students exposed to Conventional Strategy (COS) excelled in ANIDS, more so than Identifying and Controlling Variables Skill (ICVS) with Experimental Skill (EXPS) the least acquired. The influence of gender on ISPS was observed in favour of females. The study concluded that gender imbalance exists in all spheres of life, therefore, chemistry teachers should help students in acquiring integrated science skills using the two approaches to enhance male and female students’ knowledge, values, and skills creatively in secondary school chemistry. The study recommends the teaching of students on everyday activities that foster gender balance in Lagos State secondary schools.
