Abstract

Observing skills is the first step, and questioning is the second step of the scientific approach. Students ask questions based on their observations. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between observing and questioning skills. The population is students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education who take science courses. The sample consisted of 11 people who were taken randomly. Collecting data on the topic of food digestion, the lecturer displayed a picture of several chickens eating in a cage and around it, there were lots of grass scattered. Students observe pictures and write down their observations, and are asked to write questions. On ecology, the lecturer gave two pictures of tropical forests and newly planted teak forests. Students are asked to observe pictures and are assigned to write questions. On the topic of the respiratory system, the lecturer gave a picture of a family exercising. Below the picture, the heart rate increases during exercise. Data analysis was carried out on the scores of observations and student questions with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test followed by the linearity test. The results were confirmed by a scatter plot and Pearson's product-moment correlation test using SPSS version 16. The results showed a relationship between observing skills on ecological material. There was no relationship between the two skills on the topic of food digestion and the respiratory system.
