Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan assessment of practical skill in science and technology
bagi mahasiswa Prodi Pendidikan IPA Kelas Bilingual.; mengetahui Peningkatan literasi sains
dan keterampilan praktik mahasiswa Prodi Pendidikan IPA kelas bilingual diukur dari
assessment of practical skills in science and technology hasil pengembangan. Metode penelitian
adalah Research and Development yang dikenal dengan model 4-D (Four-D Models). Fase
Define (D-1) meliputi: analisis teori; analisis tugas; dan analisis konsep. Fase Design (D-2)
meliputi: seleksi media; seleksi format; dan rancangan awal. Fase Develop (D-3) meliputi
penilaian ahli dan pengujian pengembangan. Fase Dessiminate (D-4) meliputi: penerapan dalam
perkuliahan sebenarnya kemudian diobservasi segala variabel yang menjadi fokus/tujuan
pengembangan. Hasil penelitian produk berupa assesment of practical skills in science and
technology yang memiliki kharakteristik antara lain: soal mengukur 15 indikator meliputi 6
indikator untuk basic conceps in chemistry, 5 indikator untuk basic conceps in physics dan 4
indikator untuk basic conceps in life science. Dari keseluruhan indikator terdapat 35% soal yang
mengukur procedural and manipulative skills, 15% soal mengukur drawing skills, 35% sol
mengukur observational skill dan 15% soal mengukur reporting and interpretative skill (R, I).
Hasil ujicoba diperoleh tingkat literasi sains (penguasaan konsep sains) mengalamai peningkatan
sedang, ditunjukkan dengan nilai N-gain rerata sebesar 0,68. Sebanyak 30% mahasiswa tuntas
untuk procedural and manipulative skills, 15% mahasiswa tuntas untuk drawing skills drawing
skills, 43% mahasiswa tuntas untuk observational skills, dan 12% untuk reporting and
interpretative skill

ABSTRACT
This study aims at developing assessment of practical skills in science and technology for
the students of Science Education Study Program of Bilingual Class; determining the
improvement of scientific literacy and practical skills of the students of Science Education Study
Program of Bilingual class measured from the assessment of practical skills in science and
technology of the development results.
The research method was the Research and Development known as the Four-D models.
Define phase (D-1) included analysis of theory, task analysis, and concept analysis. Design phase
(D-2) included selection of media, selection of format, and preliminary design. Develop phase
included expert assessment, and development testing. Disseminate phase (D-4) included
application in real lectures and then observations of all variables which are the focus/ purpose of
the development.
The research results are in the form of assessment of practical skills in science and
technology having characteristics which include items measuring 15 indicators covering 6 basic
indicators for basic concepts in chemistry, 5 indicators for basic concepts in physics, and 4
indicators for basic concepts in life science. From all of the indicators, there are 35% of items
measuring procedural and manipulative skills, 15% of items measuring drawing skills, 35% of
items measuring observational skills, and 15% of items measuring reporting and interpretative
skills (R,I). The test results find that the scientific literacy level (scientific concept mastery)
experiences a modest increase which is indicated by N-gain average of 0.68. There are 30% of
students completing both procedural and manipulative skills, 15% of students completing
drawing skills, 43% of students completing observational skills, and 12% of students completing
reporting and interpretative skills.
