Improving Scientific Literacy and Science Process Skills for Prospective Teachers of Islamic Education Science (PAI) through Microteaching Class

Abstract

This study aims to improve the ability of scientific literacy (SL) and science process skills (SPS)
for the Islamic education science (PAI) students who will be a teacher in the future through
microteaching activities. The approach used in this study is action-based research involving 34
students of PAI. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that the implementation of the
microteaching method with the approach of LS and SPS has a positive impact on the
improvement of LS and SPS for PAI students. For the ability that belongs to a high category, the
LS aspect has reached 50%, while the SPS has reached 35.29%. For abilities with medium
category, LS reaches 44.11% and SPS reaches 61.76%. The rest are the students with LS and
SPS abilities with low categories. The results of this study recommend that it is necessary to
have LS and SPS development training for all non-science teacher candidates, such as language
teacher candidates, economics teacher candidates and so on through the same pattern
(microteaching).
