Assesses generic science skills in acid-base concepts, indicating the need for improved instructional strategies.

The aim is to assess chemistry students’ generic science skills in understanding acid-base concepts.
Conducted a multiple-choice test designed to evaluate various science skills.
Involved 200 chemistry students across four academic years at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo.
Assessed skills such as observation, symbolic language, logical inference, cause-and-effect relationships, and logical consistency.
Moderate competence in direct observation (47.50%) and cause-and-effect skills (50.67%).
Weaker performance in symbolic language (37.33%) and logical inference (28.50%).
Skills in logical frameworks (32.67%) and logical consistency (43.50%) were also noted.
Skills declined during the third academic year, with a partial recovery in the final year.
