Development of Electrical Measuring Instruments Practicum Modules Based on Science Process Skills for Physics Students

Abstract

This research aims to develop practicum modules based on science process skills. Science process skills are an approach to learning that is designed so that students can find facts and build concepts and theories. In this science process skill, students are trained to be involved in scientific activities and become independent individuals. The development model in this study is the 4D model. The research subjects were 39 third-semester students who had taken the course on electrical measuring instruments. The instruments in this study were validation sheets (to determine product validity) and student and lecturer response questionnaire sheets (to measure product practicability). The results showed that the product, in the form of a practicum module based on Science Process Skills, was both valid and practical. The module validity was in the very valid category, with an average score of 83.14%. The practicality test for using modules for students was very practical (83.3%). The lecturer response questionnaire was in the very practical category, with a percentage of 81.25%. So, this practicum module is valid and practical and can be used to train students' Science Process Skills, especially in the material of electrical measuring instruments.
