| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| The aim of this study is to identify the perception of undergraduate science students'towards laboratory learning experience in enquiring integrated science process skills (ISPS). A combination of survey and experimental research design are used in this study. The instruments used in this study are the Inventory of Student Laboratory Experience and the Integrated Science Process Skills, which divided into three parts which are Part A (demographic information), B (Likert's scale survey) and C (multiple choice questions test). This study was done on 209 undergraduate sciences students from three programme namely Physics, Chemistry and Biology Education in the Faculty of Science and Mathematics, UPSl. The data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. The findings of this study show that a significant difference between the students' perceptions towards science laboratory learning experience. The motivators and assessment factors show a significant difference between physics-biology and chemistry-biology courses. There is a significant difference between students' acquisition on ISPS. Hypothesising skills shows a significant difference between biology-chemistry and physics-chemistry courses. Defining operationally and designing experiment skills show a significant difference between biology-chemistry courses. This study gives an important implication to the educators on how to improve in developing laboratory learning strategy to enhance students' interest in laboratory learning experience and to increase students' acquisition of integrated science process skills. |
