Natural Science Mini-Project Practicum: Alternative Solutions in Improving Science Process Skills

Bakhtiar Ardiansyah, Agus Ramdani, Aliefman Hakim, Muh Makhrus, Joni Rokhmat, AA. Sukarso

Abstract

21st-century learning requires the ability to communicate, think critically, think and act creatively, and collaborate. One of the efforts recommended by experts to achieve this is through science practicum activities and project learning. Combining science practicum activities and project learning produces a mini-project practicum model. The science practicum mini-project model that uses, performs, and utilises naturally is expected to improve students' science process skills. This literature review aims to describe in more detail related to science practicum, natural mini projects and science process skills. This article is reviewed through analysis and synthesis of articles originating from reputable journal articles, such as Scopus and Sinta. The results of this study recommend an alternative model of the mini-project science practicum as a solution to improve science process skills.
