Abstract

This study aimed to describe the science process skills (SPS) possessed by students, as well as how to
empower them for students. These skills were measured using written assessment instruments. The
research method used in this research was descriptive. Data collection instruments in this study were
multiple-choice test instruments. The research subjects were 38 students of VII class, consisting of 23
females and 15 males in one of the junior high schools in the City of South Tangerang, Banten,
Indonesia. The results showed the reliability of the test questions was 0.76 with a high category; the
level of difficulty, which was in the medium category, was as many as 20 questions, and eight
questions included in the category of easy and difficult. The distinguishing features of the questions
belonged to a quite good category. The SPS owned by students gained an average of 61%, which
means in the good category. The SPS empowerment of students can be done with learning models,
methods, and approaches that support it, such as the Project base learning, Inquiry, and Problem
base Learning experimental methods, and scientific approaches.
