Abstract

The aims of the research were meant to know the effect of experimental method to science process skill and science learning outcomes of fourth grade students of SD Negeri Gunungsaren Bantul. This research used Quasi Experimental Design Method by the design of nonequivalent control group. The population of this research was all the fourth grade students of SD Negeri Gunungsaren Bantul, with the sample IVA as experimental class group and class IVB as the control group class. The data collecting technique used process skill test and science learning outcomes test and the observation of science process skill. The research results show that the average of the post-test of science process skill of the experimental class was 75.23 with a good category while the control class was 65.71 with an adequate category. The average of the post-test of science learning outcomes of the experimental class was 76.09 with a good category while the control class was 68.19 with an adequate category. The average of the observation of Science process skill of the experimental class was 82.87 with a good category while in the control class was 66.34 with an adequate category. Thus, there is a positive effect of using experimental method to the process skill and Science learning outcomes of fourth grade students of SD Negeri Gunungsaren Bantul.
