Abstract:

The purpose of this research aims to study the interaction between scientific attitudes and science process skills toward technological pedagogical content knowledge. A survey research with an ex post facto design is employed. Data collection is carried out by direct observation, learning outcomes documents, questionnaire sheets which covered by science process skills, and scientific attitudes questionnaires. Seventy eight students were taken randomly. The research instruments consisted of 14 items about basic science process skills, 18 items about integrated science process skills, and 28 items about scientific attitudes. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and multiple correlations. The results showed that 1) positive interactions between basic science process skills in TPCK, 2) negative interaction between integrated science process skills in TPCK, 3) positive interactions between scientific attitudes towards TPCK, and 4) the presence of joint interactions -the same between science process skills and scientific attitudes toward TPCK. Further discussion needs to be carried out why this happens to help students understand scientific attitudes, scientific process skills, and TPCK as well.
