The current study aims at detecting the essential and integrated science process skills in the first three grades of the primary education in Jordan using the analytical and descriptive Method. The study population consists of the science textbooks of the first three grades in the primary education in Jordan in 2015/2016.The sample of the study is its population. The study has shown that the most basic science process skills included in the science textbooks is the observation process. The textbooks also include all the integrated science process skills, and the experimental process is the most frequent one. However, the books do not include the processes of using time and place elations and the connection process. According to its results, the study has recommended the following. The process of using numbers in the science textbooks of the first grade, and also the processes of using time and place processes, and connections process in the first three grades science books along with the basic science process skills in an organized and balanced form, in the first three grades should be included, it also suggests conducting a study about the evaluation of the first three grades teachers, and the changes in the science textbooks of the first three grades in Jordan.

Effective teaching of Biology practical entails the use of specimens. However, in Nigeria, some natural specimens are difficult to obtain when needed, hindering the learning and application of science process skills. Consequently, teachers resort to pictorial representation of specimen and to online prints for Biology practical instructions. Another possible alternative less discussed is the use of synthetic or artificial specimens. The goal of this study, therefore, was to examine the effect of using synthetic and natural specimen on practical skills- process skills acquisition and application in Biology practical in secondary schools. It sought to determine the efficacy of using synthetic specimens to complement or substitute for natural specimens in teaching Biology practical. The study employed the pre-test, post-test, control group, quasi- experimental design. A total of 212 senior secondary school (SS II) Biology students in six selected government-owned high schools in Moba and Ijero Local Government Area of Ekiti state, Nigeria, were randomly selected for the study. The schools were paired and assigned to two experimental groups (using synthetic and natural specimens) and a control group (using conventional drawings). Eight instruments were employed for the study and used at treatment stage. Data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA). The results showed that there was a significant effect of synthetic specimens and natural specimens on the proficiency of the students in basic science process skills acquisition (F = 60.470, P<0.05). However, the mean gain of 3.884 which existed between the two groups showed that natural specimens were slightly more effective than synthetic specimens. The results also showed a significant effect for the use of synthetic specimens on process skills acquisition and applications of Biology concept among the students (F = 74.773, P<0.05). The study concluded that synthetic specimens are equally effective as natural specimens in improving the acquisition and application of basic science process skills of students in Biology.

Classroom Action Research

The purpose of this research is to improve the science process skills of the children aged 5-6 years through inquiry approach at TK Kasih Ibu, South Jakarta. The research conducted in November and December 2012 employed classroom action research within two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The subjects of this research were 12 kindergarten children. The data were collected using test and non test. After the second cycle, the research concluded that the inquiry approach can improve the science basic skills of children aged 5-6 years old. The implication of this research is inquiry approach can be alternative way to improve science process skills of children aged 5-6 years old. The improvement of the science basic science can be demonstrated through observing, comparing, classifying, measuring and communication.

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.
