Abstract

Science process skills are important to encourage learners to study science, and teachers of science work constantly to improve their approaches to teaching and learning in order to promote these critical science process skills in the classroom. The resulting lessons are not only more effective, but they integrate different learning styles as well. However, a critical problem still persists: teachers lack comprehensible guidelines for assessing the science process skills they are teaching. Therefore, this article aims to provide guidelines for assessing science process skills in a variety of forms and to introduce related terms and indicators. This article will be useful to science teachers to understand and see how to assess science process skills more clearly.
