The Effect of Multi-Practicum-Based Learning on the Science Process Skills of Grade XII High School Students

This study aims to analyze the application of multi-practicum-based learning in supporting the development of science process skills of high school grade XII students. Multi-practicum-based learning is an approach that integrates several practicum activities continuously so that students gain direct learning experience through scientific activities. This study uses a quantitative approach involving 135 grade XII students at SMAN 1 Sintang. Data was collected through student response instruments to the implementation of multi-practicum-based learning which included involvement in practicum activities, use of tools and materials, understanding of procedures, implementation of experiments, observation, and data collection and analysis. The results of the study showed that students responded positively to the application of multi-practicum-based learning. Most students stated that they had the opportunity to do several types of practicum, were able to use laboratory tools and materials well, understood the instructions for using tools, and followed practicum procedures systematically. The findings showed that multi-practicum-based learning provides an active and direct learning experience and creates space for students to practice science process skills. Thus, multi-practicum-based learning can be one of the approaches that supports the development of students' science process skills through active, directed, and contextual experimental activities.
