| Summary: | Our nation intend to equip each individual with scientific literacy that has scientific skills and pursue their future career in science area. The scientific skills are covering the basic science process skills, integrated science process skills and manipulative skills. This study purpose to investigate the level of scientific skill among chemistry students in Form Four level. A total of 270 respondents from Johor secondary school students are participated in this study. This study applies quantitative methods with survey research design. The data collected by adapted and compilation of several instruments which come from Miles, Burns, Okey, Wise, Padilla and Mohd Fazil. The data collected were analysed via Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 and consist of percentage, frequency and mean of data. Based on the finding, students’ level in scientific skills consider moderate level same goes with basic science process skills, integrated science process skills and manipulative skills. The moderate level in basic science process skill is due to each of skills has different score such as predicting is highest level because students able to predict their answer with prior knowledge, while the lowest score is observing skill because students unable to differentiate question and lack of imagination. While for integrated science process skill in moderate level also same goes with each skill have different score such as controlling and identify is the highest score due to students learning this skill from their primary level and they familiar with variables. Manipulative skills also same with moderate level due to students weak in draw out specimen skill. In this study, the implication of study is concern on the teaching and learning, curriculum and science literacy that related with scientific skill. |
