    SCIENTIFIC SKILLS

    Science emphasises inquiry and problem solving. In inquiry andproblem solving processes, scientific and thinking skills areutilised. Scientific skills are important in any scientific investigationsuch as conducting experiments and carrying out projects.

    Scientific skills encompass science process skills andmanipulative skills.

    Science Process Skills

    Science process skills enable students to formulate theirquestions and find out the answers systematically.

    Descriptions of the science process skills are as follows:

    Observing Using the sense of hearing, touch,smell, taste and sight to collectinformation about an object or aphenomenon.

    Classifying Using observations to groupobjects or events according tosimilarities or differences.

    Measuring and Making quantitative observations

    Using

    Numbers

    using numbers and tools with

    standardised units. Measuringmakes observation more accurate.

    Inferring Using past experiences orpreviously collected data to drawconclusions and make

    explanations of events.

    Predicting Stating the outcome of a futureevent based on prior knowledgegained through experiences orcollected data.

    Communicating Using words or graphic symbolssuch as tables, graphs, figuresor models to describe an action,object or event.

    Using Space-TimeRelationship

    Describing changes inparameter with time. Examplesof parameters are location,

    direction, shape, size, volume,weight and mass.

    Interpreting Data Giving rational explanationsabout an object, event or patternderived from collected data.

    DefiningOperationally

    Defining concepts by describingwhat must be done and whatshould be observed.

    ControllingVariables Identifying the fixed variable,manipulated variable, andresponding variable in aninvestigation. The manipulatedvariable is changed to observeits relationship with theresponding variable. At thesame time, the fixed variable iskept constant.

    Hypothesising Making a general statementabout the relationship between amanipulated variable and aresponding variable in order toexplain an event or observation.This statement can be tested todetermine its validity.

    Experimenting Planning and conductingactivities to test a certainhypothesis. These activitiesinclude collecting, analysingand interpreting data and

    Manipulative Skills

    Manipulative skills in scientific investigation are psychomotor skillsthat enable students to:

    Use and handle science apparatus and laboratory substances

    correctly. Handle specimens correctly and carefully.

    Draw specimens, apparatus and laboratory substancesaccurately.

    Clean science apparatus correctly, and

    Store science apparatus and laboratory substances correctlyand safely.

    THINKING SKILLS

    Thinking is a mental process that requires an individual tointegrate knowledge, skills and attitude in an effort to understandthe environment.

    One of the objectives of the national education system is to

    enhance the thinking ability of students. This objective can beachieved through a curriculum that emphasises thoughtfullearning. Teaching and learning that emphasises thinking skills isa foundation for thoughtful learning.

    Thoughtful learning is achieved if students are actively involved inthe teaching and learning process. Activities should be organised

    5

    to provide opportunities for students to apply thinking skills in

    conceptualisation, problem solving and decision-making.

    Thinking skills can be categorised into critical thinking skills andcreative thinking skills. A person who thinks critically alwaysevaluates an idea in a systematic manner before accepting it. Aperson who thinks creatively has a high level of imagination, isable to generate original and innovative ideas, and modify ideasand products.

    Thinking strategies are higher order thinking processes thatinvolve various steps. Each step involves various critical andcreative thinking skills. The ability to formulate thinking strategiesis the ultimate aim of introducing thinking activities in the teachingand learning process.

    Critical Thinking Skills

     A brief description of each critical thinking skill is as follows:

    Attributing Identifying criteria such ascharacteristics, features,qualities and elements of aconcept or an object.

    Comparing andContrasting

    Finding similarities anddifferences based on criteriasuch as characteristics,features, qualities andelements of a concept orevent.

    Grouping andClassifying

    Separating and groupingobjects or phenomena intocategories based on certain

    criteria such as common

    characteristics or features.

    Sequencing  Arranging objects andinformation in order based onthe quality or quantity ofcommon characteristics orfeatures such as size, time,shape or number.

    Prioritising  Arranging objects andinformation in order based ontheir importance or priority.

    Analysing Examining information in detailby breaking it down intosmaller parts to find implicit

    meaning and relationships.

    Detecting Bias Identifying views or opinionsthat have the tendency tosupport or oppose somethingin an unfair or misleading way.

    Evaluating Making judgements on thequality or value of somethingbased on valid reasons orevidence.

    MakingConclusions

    Making a statement about theoutcome of an investigation

    6

    that is based on a hypothesis.

    Creative Thinking Skills

     A brief description of each creative thinking skill is as follows:

    Generating Ideas Producing or giving ideas in adiscussion.

    Relating Making connections in acertain situation to determine astructure or pattern ofrelationship.

    MakingInferences

    Using past experiences orpreviously collected data todraw conclusions and makeexplanations of events.

    Predicting Stating the outcome of a futureevent based on priorknowledge gained throughexperiences or collected data.

    MakingGeneralisations

    Making a general conclusionabout a group based onobservations made on, or

    some information from,samples of the group.

    Visualising Recalling or forming mentalimages about a particular idea,concept, situation or vision.

    Synthesising Combining separate elementsor parts to form a generalpicture in various forms suchas writing, drawing or artefact.

    MakingHypotheses

    Making a general statementon the relationship betweenmanipulated variables andresponding variables in orderto explain a certain thing orhappening. This statement isthought to be true and can be

    tested to determine its validity.

    Making Analogies Understanding a certainabstract or complex conceptby relating it to a simpler orconcrete concept with similarcharacteristics.

    Inventing Producing something new oradapting something already inexistence to overcomeproblems in a systematicmanner.

    Thinking Strategy

    Description of each thinking strategy is as follows:

    Conceptualising Making generalisations basedon inter-related and commoncharacteristics in order toconstruct meaning, concept ormodel.

    Making Decisions Selecting the best solution from

    various alternatives based onspecific criteria to achieve aspecific aim.

    Problem Solving Finding solutions to challengingor unfamiliar situations orunanticipated difficulties in asystematic manner.

    Besides the above thinking skills and thinking strategies,another skill emphasised is reasoning. Reasoning is a skillused in making logical, just and rational judgements.Mastering of critical and creative thinking skills and thinkingstrategies is made simpler if an individual is able to reason in

    an inductive and deductive manner. Figure 1 gives a general

    picture of thinking skills and thinking strategies.

    Mastering of thinking skills and thinking strategies (TSTS)through the teaching and learning of science can be developedthrough the following phases:

    1. Introducing TSTS.2. Practising TSTS with teacher’s guidance.3. Practising TSTS without teacher’s guidance.4. Applying TSTS in new situations with teacher’s guidance.5. Applying TSTS together with other skills to accomplish

    thinking tasks.

    Further information about phases of implementing TSTS can befound in the guidebook “Buku Panduan Penerapan KemahiranBerfikir dan Strategi Berfikir dalam Pengajaran dan PembelajaranSains”  (Curriculum Development Centre, 1999).

    Relationship between Thinking Skills andScience Process Skills

    Science process skills are skills that are required in the process offinding solutions to a problem or making decisions in a systematic

    manner. It is a mental process that promotes critical, creative,analytical and systematic thinking. Mastering of science processskills and the possession of suitable attitudes and knowledgeenable students to think effectively.

      The mastering of science process skills involves themastering of the relevant thinking skills. The thinking skills that arerelated to a particular science process skill are as follows:

    Teaching and Learning based on Thinking Skillsand Scientific Skills

    This science curriculum emphasises thoughtful learning based onthinking skills and scientific skills. Mastery of thinking skills andscientific skills are integrated with the acquisition of knowledge inthe intended learning outcomes. Thus, in teaching and learning,teachers need to emphasise the mastery of skills together with theacquisition of knowledge and the inculcation of noble values andscientific attitudes.

    The following is an example and explanation of a learningoutcome based on thinking skills and scientific skills.

    Example:

    Learning Outcome:

    Thinking Skills:

    Compare and contrast metallicelements and non-metallic elements.

    Comparing and contrasting

    Explanation:

    To achieve the above learning outcome, knowledge of thecharacteristics and uses of metals and non-metals in everydaylife are learned through comparing and contrasting. The masteryof the skill of comparing and contrasting is as important as theknowledge about the elements of metal and the elements ofnon-metal.

    SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDES AND NOBLE VALUES

    Science learning experiences can be used as a means toinculcate scientific attitudes and noble values in students. Theseattitudes and values encompass the following:

    Having an interest and curiosity towards the environment.

    Being honest and accurate in recording and validating data.

    Being diligent and persevering.

    Being responsible about the safety of oneself, others, and theenvironment.

    Realising that science is a means to understand nature.

     Appreciating and practising clean and healthy living.

     Appreciating the balance of nature.

    Being respectful and well-mannered.

     Appreciating the contribution of science and technology.

    Being thankful to God. Having critical and analytical thinking.

    Being flexible and open-minded.

    Being kind-hearted and caring.

    Being objective.

    Being systematic.

    Being cooperative.

  • 8/17/2019 hsp sainsf3.pdf

    18/63

    11

    Being fair and just.

    Daring to try. Thinking rationally.

    Being confident and independent.

    The inculcation of scientific attitudes and noble values generallyoccurs through the following stages:

    Being aware of the importance and the need for scientificattitudes and noble values.

    Giving emphasis to these attitudes and values.

    Practising and internalising these scientific attitudes and noblevalues.

    When planning teaching and learning activities, teachers

    need to give due consideration to the above stages to ensure thecontinuous and effective inculcation of scientific attitudes andvalues. For example, during science practical work, the teachershould remind pupils and ensure that they carry out experimentsin a careful, cooperative and honest manner.

    Proper planning is required for effective inculcation ofscientific attitudes and noble values during science lessons.Before the first lesson related to a learning objective, teachersshould examine all related learning outcomes and suggestedteaching-learning activities that provide opportunities for theinculcation of scientific attitudes and noble values.

    The following is an example of a learning outcomepertaining to the inculcation of scientific attitudes and values.
