Abstract

Science education is a key factor in developing students' science process skills and understanding of scientific concepts. Mastery of science process skills is one of the important ways to gain knowledge. By implementing Student Worksheets based on guided inquiry, science process skills and understanding of scientific concepts can be improved. This study examines the effect of guided inquiry-based worksheets on science process skills. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model to examine the effectiveness of guided inquiry-based worksheets in improving students' science process skills on vibration and wave material. The research participants consisted of students enrolled in vibration and wave courses in the third semester of the Physics Education Study Program, Universitas PGRI Pontianak, who were selected using saturated sampling techniques. The instruments used in this study were science process skills tests in the form of pretests and posttests and science process skills observation sheets during learning which included observing, classifying, measuring, interpreting data, making hypotheses, designing experiments, conducting experiments, communicating, results, concluding, identifying variables, and using tools and materials. The data obtained were analyzed using paired t-test and N-Gain analysis. Based on the data obtained, both from pretest, posttest, and observation, it can be concluded that the use of guided inquiry-based worksheets is effective in improving students' science process skills in vibration and wave material. This increase is clearly seen in the pretest and posttest scores, as well as in the observation of skills that show positive developments in all indicators of science process skills.

Abstract

Physics teachers need to pay more attention to each student's unique way of thinking, strive to recognize and correct misunderstandings, and apply cognitive learning methods such as assimilation and accommodation. The use of cognitive dissonance can be used as a tool to change students' way of thinking. Additionally, it is important to simplify experiments and provide practical exercises that can deepen students' understanding. Teachers must also be able to relate lesson material to real life and understand the role of emotions in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, it is necessary to have teacher self-confidence through self-efficacy. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the condition of educators' self-efficacy in West Kalimantan and its impact on learning. This research is a descriptive research. The population of this research is all physics teachers in West Kalimantan. The sample was selected using probability sampling technique. The number of samples in this study were 100 physics teachers from 13 cities/districts in West Kalimantan. Data collection technique is indirect communication. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, followed by a description of the physics teacher's level of self-efficacy. Based on the research results it was concluded that the average self-efficacy level of physics teachers in West Kalimantan was quite high. The factors measured, namely the efficacy in learning strategies, classroom management, and student involvement all show a good level of self-efficacy. Physics teachers in West Kalimantan demonstrated high efficacy in developing learning strategies and managing classrooms, and had sufficient confidence in engaging students in the learning process.
