A Learning Experience By using Science Activity Sets to Develop Basic Science Process Skills for Kindergarten Students of the 3rd year.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is: 1)to develop learning experiences using science activity sets with efficiency according to criteria 80/80. 2)to compare scientific process skills before and after the development of learning experience management by using science activity set and 3) to study the effectiveness index of learning experience management by using science activity sets. The sample group consisted of 36 students of kindergarten from year 3/2 in the first semester of the academic year 2017. The sample was obtained by clustering random sampling. Using the classroom as a random unit. Each student is assorted according to their ability. The tools used in the study were: 1) experience planning plans using 14 science activity sets 2) science activity sets to develop scientific process skills in the amount of 14 sets and 3) basic science process skills assessment forms Characteristic is a multiple-image type evaluation form. Select 3 answers, 4 sets, 5 items each, a total of 20 items. Statistics used in data analysis are mean (), standard deviation (SD) and Wilcox test. The Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Signed-Ranks Test

The study indicated that

1. Learning experience using science activity sets with efficiency 82.56 / 81.95 according to the criteria set 80/80 .

2. Learning experience using science activity sets With the effectiveness index (E.I) equal to .6073, indicating that the development student increased by .6073 or 60.73 percent. 

3. Kindergarten students of the 3rd year who have received experience using science activity sets having basic science process skills after organizing experiences higher than before, organizing experiences with statistical significance at the level of .05
