Abstract
The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop an effective scientific learning package on the 8 basic scientific process skills to promote these skills among pre-service teachers; 2) to compare the 8 basic scientific process skills of second-year pre-service education students before and after the instruction; and 3) to study the satisfaction level of the students towards the learning activities. The research instruments consisted of: 1) the scientific learning package, 2) a teacher's manual, 3) a pre-test and post-test on scientific process skills, and 4) a satisfaction questionnaire. The sample was a group of 30 second-year students majoring in Elementary Education at the Faculty of Education, selected via Purposive Sampling. A one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The research findings indicated that the efficiency of the developed learning package was 81.25/81.53, which was higher than the set 80/80 criterion. The post-instruction mean score for scientific process skills ( = 24.46, SD = 2.71) was significantly higher than the pre-instruction mean score (
= 19.67, SD = 2.59) at the .05 level of statistical significance. Furthermore, the students' overall satisfaction with the learning package was at the highest level (
= 4.55, SD = 0.45).
