Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah Dengan Etnosains "Batik Ecoprint" Terhadap Keterampilan Proses Sains Dan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah

Abstract

Students science process skills and their ability to solve problems can be affected if students are not involved in problem-solving practices. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the ethnoscience-based problem-based learning (PBL) model "batik ecoprint" impact on the science process skills and problem-solving abilities of 50 students in one elementary school. Observing, classifying, formulating hypotheses, applying concepts, and communicating are some of the process skill indicators studied. On the other hand, problem-solving skill indicators include problem understanding, solution planning, solution implementation, and evaluation of results. This study applies a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental research design using an unequal control group. This study results that the ethnoscience-based PBL model has a good impact on science process skills, as indicated by the results of the T-test with a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. In addition, this model has a positive impact on problem-solving skills as indicated by the results of the T-test with a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. The MANOVA test confirmed these findings. In this study, the experimental group implemented an ethnoscience-based PBL model, while the control group used a conventional learning model. The results of this study indicate that the PBL model has a positive impact and is recommended for application to other materials to support science process skills and problem-solving abilities.
