PROCESS SKILLS PRACTICUM DEVELOPMENT SCIENCE STUDENTS IN MECHANICAL PRACTICE ON UNITS BASIC PHYSICS

Abstract

This study aims to develop a module of science process skills practicum for students in mechanical practice. This research was conducted at the Physics Laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Gorontalo State University. This study uses a 4-D development model by Thiagarajan, Semmel and Semmel which consists of 4 stages, namely defining, designing, developing and dissemination. In the development of this practice module only 3 stages were implemented, namely defining, designing, and developing. The object in this study was S1 Physics Education Study Undergraduate Program 3rd Semester 2017 Academic Year 2018/2019 Physics Education class with 21 people. Data collection techniques using practicum modules developed, expert validation sheets, response questionnaires, tests, and documentation. Data analysis techniques are used through validity, practicality, and effectiveness of practical modules. The results obtained showed that the validity of the module was 79.8% with a decent category, the practicality of the module from the module readability questionnaire was 87.15% with a very good category and from the student response questionnaire 87.54% with a very good category. The effectiveness of the module from the results of the science process skills test results of the test is 55.63% with sufficient categories, so it can be concluded that the module of science process skills practicum students have fulfilled 3 aspects, namely validity aspects, practicality aspects, and effectiveness aspects
