This study aims to examine the effects in science activities including parent involvement activities, concerning the science process skills of children aged 5-6, attending pre-school, and analyses the obtained information regarding the views of the parents involved in the program. The study group consisted of 30 children in the 5-6 age group, and 15 parents who were attending lessons. The embedded mixed method design was used in the study. Quantitative data was collected by a pre-school science process skills scale for children aged 60-72 months, and the qualitative data was collected through a semi-structured interview form with the parents. At the end of the study, the quantitative data showed that the experimental groups' children’s' science process skills, especially predicting-inferring-communicating sub-scale skills, were found to be more developed than what the control group's children. The qualitative data leads us to an understanding that the parents had a positive view of parent involvement activities and that communication with their children increased, was derived from the qualitative data, as well. It was noted that the parents raised their children's motivation towards science and tended to support them more in terms of science. It is suggested that pre-school education programs ought to include more science process-based activities with parent involvement.

Assessment means many things to many people. There is a plethora of terms and definitions. To measure science-learning outcomes at skills level, assessment was modified and restructured not only in form and context, but in vocabularies and nomenclatures. Thu, there emerged different forms, like alternative, authentic and performance assessments, which are labeled the most suitable for assessing science process skills demonstrated and developed by students during science activities. The author of this paper took a critical look at these various forms and found them not being strong and precise enough for that purpose. What is demanded from the students and teachers in the various forms of assessments differs not much from those of the conventional paper-and-pencil types. Or, at best, it is the product of investigation written on paper and marked by conference examiners. The disadvantages of this conventional practice are much. The author is therefore advocating on-the-spot assessment of skills as complements and supplements to these others. The advantages are overwhelming and are stated in the body of the paper.
