Abstract
ABSTRACT
This research is a quantitative study conducted with the aim to analyze the integration of project learning activities in the Invertebrate Zoology course on scientific process skills and understanding of student concepts. As for seeing the effect of each indicator from each predictor, a qualitative descriptive analysis was carried out. Respondents in this study were students of the Biology Education Study Program JPMIPA FKIP Bengkulu University academic year 20313/2014. The sample of 30 respondents was taken by random sampling technique. The research instrument is a questionnaire for scientific process skills and tests for understanding concepts. The hypothesis is tested using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The integration of project learning activities has a significant influence on the scientific skills process of 0.038 with an F value of 4.524 and also has a significant influence on concept understanding at 0.018 with an F value of 0.018. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that there was an effect of the integration of project-based learning on scientific process skills and understanding of the concept of Invertebrate Zoology of biology education students, with a significance level of 0.05.
