Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3

Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out science process skills after the implementation of a contextual inquiry-based student’s worksheet occurred. This study was conducted by quasi-experimental method for the students of Biology Education, Universitas Negeri Medan. Samples were taken by simple random sampling technique. The experimental group was taught by a contextual inquiry-based student’s worksheet, while the control group was taught by a conventional (traditional) student’s worksheet. The data collection was employed by pretest-posttest, using an essay test of science process skill for the topic of water microbiology. The results of data analysis were using a student t-test for the post-test score of both groups, in which the results gave a value (tvalue= 3.175; p = 0.002) was 0.002 < 0.05. It showed that there was a significant difference between experimental group and control group as well.
