- Abstract
Science and science instruction contains basic concepts of science as well as science process skills, which underlie the process of thinking scientifically that involves cognitive and investigation skills. Science process skills can be acquired and developed through learning. RICOSRE is one of the learning models that can be used to promote science process skills. This study aimed to investigate 1) an increase in students’ science process skills during the implementation of RICOSRE, and 2) the effect of RICOSRE on students’ science process skills in a Protista course. Concurrent triangulation design was employed in this study. The qualitative data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis, while t-test was conducted to analyze the quantitative data. The data were collected from the participants’ answers to essay questions found in the pretest, mid-test, and post-test. The results of analyses showed that students’ average scores improved by 19.10% from the pretest to the mid-test and by 20.83% from the mid-test to the post-test. It was also found that RICOSRE had an effect on the students’ science process skills (at a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05). The findings of the study, therefore, suggest that RICOSRE can be used to improve students’ science process skills.
