Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to determine how the science process and critical thinking skills of VII grade junior high school students were carried out through practicum activities. Methodology: This type of research is qualitative research. The data collection technique used in this research is the interview instrument. The informants in this study came from Batanghari 2 Junior High School, Batanghari 8 Junior High School, and Batanghari 25 Junior High School, with the sample informants being 3 teachers and 6 students. Data analysis techniques use the Miles and Huberman methods. Main Findings: The results of this study are that science teachers in the three schools have implemented practicum activities, and there has been an assessment of science process skills in practicum activities. Students have been trained and assessed for their science process skills and critical thinking skills but have not been trained optimally. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is to analyze practicum activities in improving science process skills and critical thinking skills in three direct schools. Suggestions for further research are finding learning innovations or selecting learning models to improve students' science process skills and critical thinking abilities to make them even better.

Abstract

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)-Based Science learning is important for strengthening students’ scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. This study aims to analyze ESD-based science learning conducted by teachers affiliated with the Surakarta City’s Subject Teacher Forum (MGMP) for Natural Science. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The sample used in this research consisted of 25 teachers affiliated with the Surakarta City’s MGMP for Natural Science. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique used is Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis method. The results of research show that the majority of teachers understand the concept of ESD, are able to design contextual learning, and facilitate reflective activities and projects relevant to sustainability issues. Learning encourages the students to think critically, discuss, and develop scientific literacy in an applied manner. However, challenges are still encountered in teaching material preparation and limited learning resources. This study emphasizes the urgency of training, policy support, and institutional synergy to strengthen the sustainability of ESD implementation in Natural Science education.
