UPAYA MENINGKATKAN RESEARCH SKILL SISWA MELALUI CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECT PADA PEMBELAJARAN BIOLOGI SMA

Abstract

Each individual must be trained in loading information related to the impact of scientific problems on their lives. These scientific problems can be overcome if someone has the skills to carry out research. Certainly, research skills are one of the things that a student must have in conducting research. In this case, a teacher at a school needs a project known as the citizen science project to improve their research skills. This study only studied one group by giving treatment, that is 32 students of class X MIPA. The instruments applied were research skill assessment rubrics from student worksheets, student research skill achievement rubrics, student research skill test sheets, observation sheets, and interview guidelines. The research skills of the students at the beginning showed an average of 63.4 with a standard deviation of ±13.3 and the research skills of the students at the end showed an average of 83.8 with a standard deviation of ±9.42. The proportion of students' N-Gain research skill category varies, 6.2% for the low category, 71.9% for the medium category, and 21.9% for the high category. Based on the research findings, it is known that the citizen science project gave positive results to their research skills.
