Improving the science process skills of physics education students by using guided inquiry practicum

Abstract: This research investigate that science process skills significantly improve after doing some practicum activities. The research population are fifth semester physics education students and the research sample are fifth semester physics education students who was doing electricity and magnetism experiment C class course. We used two questionnaires, the first one is given to the students after doing three experiment activities and the second one is given after doing six experiment activities. This research is quantitative research using paired sample t test analysis that compared the first questionnaires score and the second questionnaires by using SPSS software. The result indicates that the number of practicum activities is able to improve the science process skills significantly.
