PENGEMBANGAN INSTRUMEN ASESMEN KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS PADA MATERI TEORI TUMBUKAN

Abstract

This researct was aimed to develop and describe the validity of science process skills assessment instrument on the collision theory. This research used R&D method. The assessment which has been developed use descriptive questions which considering the validity, reliability, and level of difficulty that measures the level of basic science process skills such as observe, communicate, predict, and inference. Based on the result of expert validation on content suitability, construction, and ability aspects, this assessment instrument was said valid with very high category. The results of teachers responses to the three aspects were very high category. Analysis items showed the assessment instrument have high validity, high level of reliability, and modest level of difficulty.
