The description of the teacher's ability in this study includes implementing the scientific approach in the lesson plans and implementing them in learning activities.

Techniques of data collection used observation, interview, and documentation. The research instruments used were observation guidelines and interview guidelines. The data analysis techniques used were data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions and verification. The validity of the data was tested employing a credibility test with a triangulation of techniques and sources. The research findings showed that the cultural arts teachers at SMP of Padang Pariaman had made a Lesson Plan (RPP) based on a scientific approach. However, the formulation of each step is not following the provisions. Second, the cultural arts teacher at SMP of Padang Pariaman has not ever implemented a learning strategy based on a scientific approach as expected. It is due to lack of teachers understanding of the use of models and learning steps based on the scientific approach and the lack of supporting books, and the lack of internet networks
