Abstract
The scientific process skills should trains to a pre-service teacher, especially pre-service physics teacher. This study aims to get description about the enhancement of students’ integrated scientific process skill through the level of inquiry (LoI) learning model. This research located at a public junior high school in Singkawang City. This research use week experimental design with one group pretest-posttest design. Samples were taken by using cluster random technique. The instrument of collection data are tested KPS (scientific process skill test), LoI’s observation sheets, and attitude scale sheet (to collect students’ responses to LoI models). The result showed that students’ integrated scientific process skill is enhanced in n-gain 0,31 (medium), LoI’s observation sheet is”all activities were held” an attitude scale is 80,4 % (positive response). These could be concluded that Scientific Process Skill on that schools is enhancing (medium category) by using implementation of LoI model. Keterampilan Proses Sains (KPS) perlu dilatihkan terutama untuk calon guru sains termasuk calon guru fisika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran peningkatan aspek keterampilan proses sains (KPS) terpadu siswa melalui penerapan model Levels of Inquiry (LoI). Penelitian ini dilakukan di salah satu SMP Negeri Kota Singkawang, menggunakan metode weak experimental design dengan one group pretest-posttest design. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan cluster random sampling. Instrument pengumpul data yang dipakai antara lain tes KPS, lembar observasi keterlaksanaan LoI, dan lembar skala sikap untuk mendapatkan deskripsi tanggapan siswa terhadap model LoI yang telah mereka alami. Hasil pengolahan instrument tes menunjukkan bahwa KPS yang dimiliki oleh siswa mengalami peningkatan dengan skor n-gain sebesar 0,31 (kategori sedang) dan keterlaksaaan model pembelajaran LOI dalam kategori “semua kegiatan siswa terlaksana” serta skala sikap dengan capaian respon bernilai 80,4 % (kategori positif). Dapat disimpulkan pada sekolah tersebut, KPS dapat ditingkatkan melalui penerapan LoI dengan kategori sedang.
