ESSAY

Skills Process is a learning process that is designed so that students find the facts,
build concepts and theories with the intellectual skills and scientific attitude the students
themselves. Students are given the opportunity to be directly involved in scientific activities
as done by the scientists, but the process skills approach does not intend to make every
student to become a scientist (Devi, 2011). According Dahar (1985: 11), Science Process
Skills (KPS) is the student's ability to apply the scientific method in understanding,
developing and finding science.
KPS is very important for every student in preparation to use scientific methods in
developing science and are expected to gain new knowledge / develop process knowledge
have dimiliki. Keterampilan science as an approach to learning is very important because it
fosters experience in addition to the learning process. Given the increasing number of schools
that have had a biology laboratory, making it necessary efforts to improve the effectiveness of
learning, especially learning outcomes of Cognitive achievement that is supported by the
Skills and attitudes are good. Therefore, teachers should gradually begin to move the
assessment of learning outcomes in the aspects of skills and attitudes (Rustaman, 2003).
KPS classification is as follows:
1. Viewing
Observing is the process of collecting data on phenomena or events by the senses. To be able
to master the skills of observing, students should use as many senses, ie, seeing, hearing,
feeling, smelling and tasting.
2. Grouping / Classification
Grouping is a systematic used to classify things based on certain conditions. Classifying
process included several activities such as looking for similarities, look for differences,
contrasting characteristics, compare, and find the basic classification.
3. Interpret
Interpreting the results of observations is to draw tentative conclusions from the data on
record.

4. Foresee
Foresee is estimated based on the observed data are reliable (Word, 2000)
5. Asking questions
Skills process of asking questions can be obtained by students by asking questions of what,
why, how, questions for clarification or questions backgrounds hypothesis.
6. Merumusakan hypothesis
The hypothesis is a reasonable estimate for explaining an event or a particular observation.
7. Plan your experiment
For students to have the skills to plan experiments, then these students should be able to
determine the tools and materials to be used in the experiment.
8. Using the tools and materials
To be able to have the skills to use tools and materials, by itself students must use the tools
and materials directly in order to obtain direct experience.
9. Applying the concept
Skills students apply the concepts mastered if students can use concepts they have learned in
new situations or to apply the concept in new experiences to explain what was happening.
10. Communicate
These skills include learning to read charts, tables, or diagrams of the experimental results.
KPS benefits are:
1. PPP can provide stimulation of science, so that students can understand the facts and

science concepts well.

2. Provide opportunities for students to work with science, not merely telling or listening to
stories about science. This causes the students to become more active.
3. KPS make the students learning process and product knowledge as well.
How to Measure Science Process Skills
1. Characteristics of Basic Science Process Skills Test
a. Common characteristics, namely:
1. Principal process skill test tidk be burdened concept. It is necessary that POKO rnacu not
test with measurement of mastery of the concept. The concept involved must be believed by
the authors test items have been learned or not foreign students for students.
2. Contains some information that must be processed respondents or students. The
information may include images, charts, graphs, data in tables or description, or the original
object.
3.Aspects to be measured must be clear and contains only one aspect, such interpretation.
b. Special characteristics, namely:
1.Observation should be of real objects or events
2.Interpretation should present a number of data to reveal patterns
3. Classification should be an opportunity to find / discover similarities and differences, or
given specific criteria for grouping or a predetermined number of groups to be formed
4. Predictions must be clear patterns or trends to be able to submit an allegation or forecast
5. Communicate there should be a particular form of presentation to be transformed into other
forms of presentation, for example, in narrative form to the form of a chart or table form to
the shape of the graph.
6.Hypothesize can formulate allegations or temporary answer, or examine the statement and
contains links two or more variables, usually containing the workings to test or prove

7. Plan your experiment or investigation should be given the opportunity to propose ideas
regarding the tool / material to be used, the order of the procedures that must be taken,
specify the variables, control variables
8.Applying the concept or principle should make the concept / principle will be applied
without naming concept.
9. Asking questions should bring something surprising, impossible, unusual or contraction so
that the respondent or the students were motivated to ask.
2. Preparation Process Skills Test Basic science
Formulation of PPP test should choose one particular concept and then present some
information that needs to be processed. After that determines the shape of the answers
requested, for example a cross, check mark, or write a short answer three pieces and then set
up a question to elicit the expected response
3. Scoring Basic Science Process Skills Test
Principal process skill test requires a score in a certain way. Each correct response was
scored by a certain weight, eg 1 for each test subject above observation, which means the
number of scores 5.
Conclusion
Skill is the ability to use the mind, reason, and act efficiently and effectively to achieve a
specific outcome, including creativity. The process is defined as a device that scientists use
complex skill in conducting scientific research. The process is a great concept that can be
broken down into components that must be mastered if someone will do the research.

PARAGRAPH

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Science is a science that deals with how to find out and understand about alam.Belajar
science is a process of give some experience to the students to understand and guide them to
use the scientific knowledge.
To understand the nature of science that science as a process and a product, students must
have a science process skills
(KPS).
KPS is more emphasis on science learning establishment to acquire knowledge and skills to
communicate
as well as chemical menyimpulkanhasilnya.Ilmu a clump of subjects in science.
Therefore chemistry gained students do not
chemicals only as a product
but also can train students how to think
to solve problems especially yangberkaitan with scientifically chemistry is chemistry as a
process.
Therefore, learning to chemicals should pay attention to the chemical characteristics as
prosesdan product.
According Rustaman (2003), process skills are skills that involve cognitive skills or
intellectual, manual and social. Cognitive skills involved because by doing process skills of
students using mind. Manual dexterity skills clearly involved in the process because they
involve the use of tools and materials, measurement, preparation or assembly tools. Social
skills are also involved in the process skills as they interact with each other in carrying out
the teaching and learning activities, for example, discuss the results of observations. Process
skills should be developed through direct experiences as a learning experience. Through
direct experience, one can appreciate labih processes or activities that are being carried out.
Science process skills (PPP) is the complex skills used by scientists to conduct scientific
investigations into the series of the learning process. According Dahar (1996), science
process skills (PPP) is the student's ability to apply the scientific method in understanding,
developing and finding science. KPS is very important for every student in preparation to use

scientific methods in developing science and are expected to gain new knowledge or develop
the knowledge you already have.
According Dimyati (2009), KPS advantages are:
1. PPPs can provide stimulation of science, so that students can understand the facts and
science concepts well.
2. Gives students the chance to work with science, not merely telling or listening to stories
about science. This causes the students to become more active.
3. KPS make the students learning process and product knowledge as well.
