The analysis of students’ practicum skills achievement in acid-base material

Abstract

Abstract This research aims to analyze the achievement of students’ practical skills in learning chemistry on acid-base material. The subjects in this research were students of grade 11 senior high school. The research method used was an experimental design. The process of data collection was used the practical skills observation sheet. The sample was determined using cluster random sampling technique, namely XI MIPA 4 as the experimental class and XI MIPA 1 as the control class. The data analysis results showed that the average percentage of achievement of practical skills in the experimental class was 84.89%, while for the control class was 78.76%. Assessment of the achievement of students’ practicum skills includes 16 aspects that fall into three dimensions, namely preparation of practicum, implementation of practicum, and final implementation after practicum. Based on these data, it was concluded that students’ practical skills grade 11 senioh high school on acid-base material were classified as good criteria.
