Practicum not only advanced skills to use the practicum tools, but also basic skills, known as science generic skills, which emphasize students' ability to understand, identify, and solve presented problems. This study aims to analyze students' activities in animal respiration practicum, investigate their generic science skills after conducting the animal respiration practicum, and describe their responses to guided inquiry-based animal respiration practicum. This study employed the pretest-posttest control group designs. The data were collected using tests, observations, and questionnaires. Afterward, the collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis. The results showed that the students' generic skills in guided inquiry-based animal respiration practicum are categorized as high shown in their learning activities. The students who apply the inquiry model and students who apply the conventional model have significantly different improvements in generic science skills. Moreover, the students very positively respond to the guided inquiry-based animal respiration practicum. This study concludes that the practicum has allowed students to understand the actual learning process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
