Implementation of Basic Physics Practicum Guide I based on science process skills by using cooperative model group ınvestigation type.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the differences in science process skills in each class in the Jambi University Physics Education Study Program in 2018 and to see the differences in the science process skills between the experimental classes using Basic Physics practicum I Skills-based science processes use models of Cooperative Learning type Group Investigation with control classes that use conventional guidebooks. This research is an experimental study with themethod quasy-experiment, with the Static-Group Comparison design. The student samples studied were 1088 students of physics education in 2018. Data collected from the results of observations using the observation observation process science skills and reinforced using temporary reports of lab work. Data obtained were analyzed using inferential statistics. The results showed that there were significant differences between the experimental classes using the Basic Physics I practical guidebook based on science process skills using the Cooperative Learning model in the type of Group Investigation with the control class using conventional guidebooks when conducting measurement activities using Calipers, Micrometers screw, and Spherometer. With the experimental class, they have better science process skills than the control class. Some of the obstacles encountered during practicum certainly hinder the science process skills of Jambi University Physics Education students. This finding has provided information on differences in science process skills possessed by students in the experimental class after using a science process skill-based guide with a control class that still uses conventional practicum guides.
