PROFIL SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS (SPS) SISWA INKLUSI DI SDN 1 PALEMBAPANG

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the Science Process Skills (SPS) of inclusive students at SDN 1 Palembapang in the science and sciences subject with the sub-material energy and its changes. The research method used was descriptive quantitative with purposive sampling technique, involving eight inclusive class IV students. Measurements are carried out through 15 multiple choice questions covering five aspects of SPS, namely observing, classifying, measuring, predicting and drawing conclusions. Based on research results, the Science Process Skills (SPS) of inclusive students at SDN 1 Palembapang is still relatively low, with an average achievement of 46%. Of the five SPS aspects measured, the observing indicator had the highest achievement of 63% (medium category), while drawing conclusions had the lowest achievement of 31% (low category). The low level of SPS skills shows that inclusive students still experience difficulties in understanding scientific concepts independently and systematically. The main factor that contributes to low SPS students is the learning method which is still dominated by the lecture approach, which does not provide opportunities for students to experiment and explore science concepts directly. Therefore, more innovative learning approaches are needed, such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and inquiry-based methods, to improve students' scientific skills. In addition, teachers need to receive training in implementing learning strategies that are more effective and appropriate to the needs of inclusive students, so that they can improve their understanding and science skills
