Improving Science Process Skills (SPS) Science Concepts Mastery (SCM) Prospective Student Teachers Through Inquiry Learning Instruction Model By Using Interactive Computer Simulation

The low science process skills of students in middle school and there are many problems faced by science teachers in implementing learning science process skills oriented are the main factors behind this research. Thus, this research aims to improve science process skills and mastery of concepts for student teachers using a model of learning through interactive computer simulations. Data were obtained through tests conducted on respondents who covers science process skills test and test mastery of concepts. The results showed that the science process skills and mastery of the concept of student teachers can be improved through the implementation of the inquiry learning model using an interactive computer simulation. At the end of the study authors recommend that the learning model can be developed by teachers in implementing the learning of science in primary and secondary schools.
