Project Based Learning to Enhance Students' Science Process Skills in Science Learning

Learning is a process of student interaction with teachers and learning resources in a learning environment. This study aims to determine the effect of applying project based learning models on science process skills on the material structure of animal and plant cells. The design used in this study is a posttest-only control design with a quasi-experimental method. The research sample consisted of 55 students and the result shows that the implementation of Project Based Learning model is better than conventional learning models. This can be seen from the t-test calculation of science process skills showing a significant result of t count 0.003 < 0.05, then Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. From the analysis of average completeness score indicators of the experiment class science process skills reached 2.50 with good criteria while the science process skills of students in the control class reached 1.68 in sufficient criteria meaning that the science process skills of the experiment class students were higher than the science process skills of the control class. It can be concluded that the Project Based Learning model influences the Science Process Skills on the material structure of animal cells and plant cells.
