Development of Problem - Based Learning Activity to Enhance Science Process Skills and Teamwork Skills on Scientific Inquiry and The Nature of science Course for 10th Grade Students

Abstract

          The research aimed (1) to develop problem-based learning management activities  by using collaborative learning activities, (2) to examine students’ scientific processing skills during problem-based learning activities and, (3) to investigate students’ teamwork skills during problem-based learning activities. This research is mixed method research with 24 grade 10 students as the sample for quantitative data and 12 grade 10 students as the sample for qualitative research. The two groups of students were selected by purposive sampling.  The instruments used to collect the data were comprised of problem-based learning management, in-class-video camera, assessment form a teamwork skill assessment form,a scientific process skill for qualitative data analysis. The information obtained was analyzed using mean, and standard deviation.
          The results showed that (1) The research acquired a plan of learning activities consisting to use the problem as a base, there were 6 steps, the learning activity design, using experience data and designing activities in accordance with the age of the student with a total of 6 learning activities. (2) By observing behaviors during problem-based learning activities, it was found that, the average of science process skills for all 6 learning activities was at a high level. The skill with the highest average was experimental skills (  = 4.22, S.D. = 0.06) and  (3) For the teamwork skill assessed it was found that, in 6 learning activities, the average level
of teamwork skills was at a high level. The skill with the highest average level was good interaction and mutual assistance (  = 4.02, S.D. = 0.22).
