This research aims to develop instrument and determine the characteristics of an integrated assessment instrument. This research uses 4-D model, which includes define, design, develop, and disseminate. The primary product is validated by expert judgment, tested it’s readability by students, and assessed it’s feasibility by chemistry teachers. This research involved 246 students of grade XI of four senior high schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data collection techniques include interview, questionnaire, and test. Data collection instruments include interview guideline, item validation sheet, users’ response questionnaire, instrument readability questionnaire, and essay test. The results show that the integrated assessment instrument has Aiken validity value of 0.95. Item reliability was 0.99 and person reliability was 0.69. Teachers’ response to the integrated assessment instrument is very good. Therefore, the integrated assessment instrument is feasible to be applied to measure the students’ analytical thinking and science process skills.

Science process skills (SPS) are the tools that are needed in chemistry learning in 21 st century. SPS are thinking skills that used to build knowledge in problems solving. SPS aim to measure thinking skills and create active learning. SPS based learning can also enhance the knowledge of students towards science. In the other words, SPS have positive relationship with the cognitive domain, including the analytical thinking skills. Analytical thinking is one of a high order thinking skills that are used to elaborate, attribute, and analyze information to understand the knowledge using logical thinking. Analytical thinking is the thinking that is based on facts which will help in solving the problems and finding the solutions that supports critical and creative thinking. To measure both the competencies needed an integrated assessment instrument which able to measure the students’ achievement effectively and efficiently. Integrated assessment is an interdisciplinary process in combining, interpreting, communicating knowledge and abilities of students from a variety of sources. In summary, if the integrated assessment is done effectively by utilizing the data collection, analysis, and management of the various actions that are integrated into the teaching process, it will improve the students’ analytical thinking and science process skills.

The objectives of the study to investigate chemistry teachers’ ability in measuring students’ analytical thinking and science process skills. This subject research is chemistry teachers’ of XI IPA classes of five senior high schools in Yogyakarta. Data collecting technique used questionnaire and was analyzed in qualitative-descriptive method. The result of the qualitative analyze shows that: 1) some of the subject research teachers do not have the assessment instrument, 2) assessment laboratory activities have not using the assessment instrument, and 3) assessment instrument is not equipped with standard scoring guidelines. On the other hand, the chemistry teachers’ ability in measuring analytical thinking and science process skills is low. Therefore, chemistry teachers should be improved their ability in measuring analytical thinking and science process skills.

The main purpose of this study is to find out the influence of practicum-based outdoor inquiry model on science process skills. Quasi-experiment design was employed as the research method by Matching Only Post-test Control Group. The research sample was taken using a cluster sampling technique. The samples consisted of experimental class (XI MIA 1) in a total of 25 students treated with practicum-based outdoor inquiry model. The control class (XI MIA 3) consisted of 29 students treated with direct instruction model. In collecting the data, essay test was used in the form of worksheets containing the aspect of science process skills of formulating hypotheses, designing experiment, interpreting data into tables, and drawing a conclusion (inferring). The study results demonstrate that practicum-based outdoor inquiry model was effective in improving the science process skills. It was shown in p-value (significant) of 0.00. The implication of this study is the need to design a practicum-based outdoor inquiry model by noticing what skills are going to improve by means of more varied outdoor activities

This study aims to determine the improvement of science process skills possessed students by using the PopUp Book learning media. The method used in data collection is documentation, observation and tests. In this study, researchers or lecturers use pop-up media that aiming to see an enchance in the science learning process skills of PGSD students. This study can be seen from the average assessment classically to see the science process skills possessed by students in each indicator of the science process skills.In 1st indicator, the skills to observe before using the media are 49.1% and after using the media are 82.9%.  In the 2nd Indicator, the skills of formulating a hypothesis before using the media are 42.4% and after using the media are 79.5.%. In the 3rd Indicator, the skills of planning an experiment before using the media are 46.2% and after using the media are 85.7%. In 4th indicator,  the skills of conducting experiments before using the media are 54.3% and after using the media are 90.5%. In the 5th Indicator,  the skills to predict before using the media are 43.3% and after using media are 80.9%. In the 6th indicator, the skills of applying concepts before using media are 41.9% and after using media are 78.6%. In the 7thindicator, communication skills before using media are 41.9% and after using media are 90%. The result shows that the Pop Up Book learning media can improve the science process skills of PGSD students.

Students should be prepared to cope with this world with higher level skills involving critical thinking and science process skills, so that they can solve problem in education learning and other fields. Besides, the main reason is those skills should not be separated. Critical thinking skills can be developed by enriching students’ process skills. Getting students to think critically and act in accordance with science process skills that students have will improve their cognitive and skill aspects. Unfortunately, those students’ ability is not balanced with the current assessment. The prior assessment should be changed to integrated assessment that provides a framework for assessing both students’ critical thinking and science process skills. It enables teachers to determine the extent to which students are reasoning critically by integrating science process skills as primary tool for learning. The purpose of this study is to find why integrated assessment is needed to measure critical thinking and science process skills in integrated manner.

Science Process Skills (SPSs) are fundamental skills to mastering science. To nurture students' SPS, inquiry based learning and student-center activities may work effectively. This study aims at analyzing: How Inquiry-based Learning and Student Team Achievement Division (INSTAD) affects science process skills compared with inquiry-based learning, Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD), and conventional learning method. The participants were 136 grade 7 students from 27 public middle schools in Surakarta, Indonesia. They were divided into 68 students with higher academic (HA) achievement and 68 students with lower academic (LA) achievement. A nonequivalent control group design with pretest and posttest were applied to get data on SPSs using a sort of essay test. The result indicates that: (1) While the outcomes of INSTAD and inquiry-based learning are comparable, they are significantly different compared with the outcomes of STAD and conventional learning. (2) Students in HA group have higher SPS than students in LA groups. (3) INSTAD, on an equal level with inquiry-based learning, significantly increases the students’ SPSs. Compared with other three methods, INSTAD was confirmed the most effective in closing the science process skills gaps between students in HA group and LA group. Keywords: inquiry-based learning, INSTAD, STAD, science process skills.
