Improving Science Process Skills through Project-Based Worksheets Integrated with Local Potential in Biotechnology Materials

Science process skills (SPS) are Among the abilities required in the twenty-first century. Therefore, SPS needs to be considered carefully, especially for students in schools. The goal of this research was to develop a worksheet integrated with one of local potential in Kudus Regency that is used to improve SPS in students. Local potential that was integrated in this worksheet is “Parijoto”. Parijoto is one of the famous plants in Kudus Regency. This study's methodology is R&D utilizing the 4D development paradigm consisting of define, design, develop and disseminate. The subjects of the trial in this study were grade IX students of SMPN 04 Bae Kudus. The results of this study are that the student worksheet integrated with local potential in biotechnology material is valid and feasible to use based on the validity score obtained, namely 0.88, and is practical and effective in improving students' science process skills, as evidenced by the N-gain score of 0.74.
