Abstract

Artikel ini didasarkan pada hasill penelitian hibah bersaing tahun 2014. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan profil keterampilan laboratorium mahasiswa calon guru fisika pada bidang Astronomi. Pembelajaran dilakukan melalui penerapan Perangkat Praktikum Berbasis Kemampuan Generik Sains (PP-BKGS). Perangkat praktikum dikembangkan menggunakan strategi research and development. Pengembangan dilakukan tiga tahap yaitu, (1) Studi Pendahuluan, (2) Penyusunan/ pengembangan Program, (3) Validasi perangkat melalui uji coba terbatas. Penelitian dilakukan pada mahasiswa semester VI Jurusan Pendidikan Fisika pada suatu LPTK di Bali tahun akademik 2013/2014 dengan rancangan One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah (1) PP-BKGS dapat mengembangkan kemampuan mahasiswa dalam merancang, melaksanakan dan melaporkan praktikum IPBA pada bidang Astronomi. Keterampilan mahasiswa dalam merancang, melaksanakan dan melaporkan praktikum tergolong baik. (2) Respon mahasiswa terhadap PP-BKGS adalah positif.
