Students’ Process Skills and Scientific Attitude: Implementation of Integrated Science Teaching Materials Based on Elementary Students’ Science Literacy

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to know students’ process skills and scientific attitude ability through the implementation of integrated science teaching materials based on elementary students’ science literacy. This research uses an experimental method with one group pre-test and post-test design. The research subject was fifth grade in SD 6 Cendono Kudus. Based on the research result, the average of students’ scientific attitude ability was 84,41 with good criteria. The result of paired sample test in students’ scientific attitude showed sig. (2-tailed) 0,000 < α = 0,05, which meant that there was a difference in scientific attitude ability before and after the lesson. However, the average of the ability of process skills was 83,83 with good criteria. The result of paired sample test in students’ process skills showed sig. (2-tailed) 0,000 < α = 0,05, it meant that there was a difference in process skills ability before and after the lesson, so it was concluded that the integrated science teaching materials based on elementary students’ literacy were able to develop students’ scientific attitude and process skills ability. The implications of this research are related to improving students' scientific attitude and process skills aspects and teaching materials based on scientific literacy as a reference and consideration for learning on other subjects in science subjects.
