Science process skills (SPS) are the tools that are needed in chemistry learning in 21 st century. SPS are thinking skills that used to build knowledge in problems solving. SPS aim to measure thinking skills and create active learning. SPS based learning can also enhance the knowledge of students towards science. In the other words, SPS have positive relationship with the cognitive domain, including the analytical thinking skills. Analytical thinking is one of a high order thinking skills that are used to elaborate, attribute, and analyze information to understand the knowledge using logical thinking. Analytical thinking is the thinking that is based on facts which will help in solving the problems and finding the solutions that supports critical and creative thinking. To measure both the competencies needed an integrated assessment instrument which able to measure the students’ achievement effectively and efficiently. Integrated assessment is an interdisciplinary process in combining, interpreting, communicating knowledge and abilities of students from a variety of sources. In summary, if the integrated assessment is done effectively by utilizing the data collection, analysis, and management of the various actions that are integrated into the teaching process, it will improve the students’ analytical thinking and science process skills.

Students should be prepared to cope with this world with higher level skills involving critical thinking and science process skills, so that they can solve problem in education learning and other fields. Besides, the main reason is those skills should not be separated. Critical thinking skills can be developed by enriching students’ process skills. Getting students to think critically and act in accordance with science process skills that students have will improve their cognitive and skill aspects. Unfortunately, those students’ ability is not balanced with the current assessment. The prior assessment should be changed to integrated assessment that provides a framework for assessing both students’ critical thinking and science process skills. It enables teachers to determine the extent to which students are reasoning critically by integrating science process skills as primary tool for learning. The purpose of this study is to find why integrated assessment is needed to measure critical thinking and science process skills in integrated manner.

The learning of chemistry which becomes increasingly complex in the 21 century demands the students to develop a number of cognitive as well as psychomotoric skills throughly. There are skills which students have to master such as analytical thinking skills and science processing skills. However, in reallity, there are many obstacles faced by the teachers to measure those two variables. Therefore, a test which is able to measure the ability of the students both in cognitive and psychomotoric and to optimalize the potency of the students is needed. The objective of this study is to solve the problem of assessment in chemistry learning which only measures thinking skills on lower level and gives little attention on science processing skills of students. The interview results conducted towards chemistry teachers in several SMA/MA in Yogyakarta, show that the teacher have not been fully assessed in correct manner in practical learning procces. On the other hand, one of competencies which teachers must possesed is to develop assessment instruments. Moreover, there are a lot of learning results, instruments used by the teachers which have not been able to measure the students analytical thinking skills and science processing skills effectively and efficiently. A good assessing instrument is an instrument which is able to develop the students‟s ability to solve the problems, to find solutions, as well as to increase their analytical thinking skills through chemistry learning based on science processing skills. Therefore, the measurement of analytical thingking skills and science process skills of the students integratively has to be conducted to embrace the demand of 21 century chemistry learning.

This research aims to develop instrument and determine the characteristics of an integrated assessment instrument. This research uses 4-D model, which includes define, design, develop, and disseminate. The primary product is validated by expert judgment, tested it’s readability by students, and assessed it’s feasibility by chemistry teachers. This research involved 246 students of grade XI of four senior high schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data collection techniques include interview, questionnaire, and test. Data collection instruments include interview guideline, item validation sheet, users’ response questionnaire, instrument readability questionnaire, and essay test. The results show that the integrated assessment instrument has Aiken validity value of 0.95. Item reliability was 0.99 and person reliability was 0.69. Teachers’ response to the integrated assessment instrument is very good. Therefore, the integrated assessment instrument is feasible to be applied to measure the students’ analytical thinking and science process skills.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the importance of integrated assessment to measure critical thinking skills and science process skills in chemistry learning. Integrated assessment is an assessment form that integrates several aspects or multidisciplinary science in the assessment process. This integrated assessment is chosen because both have a relationship that can‟t be separated. Critical thinking skills is part of high order thinking skills that is being education‟s demand in 21 century. It covers cognitive and skill aspects to construct cognitive component. Science process skills is skill that necessary for students to find their own knowledge by finding or identifying problem, solving problem, and answering questions about natural phenomena, so students‟ knowledge becomes more meaningful. Process skills are not only intended for science, but also social science that requires critical thinking skills. Therefore, integrated assessment is needed to anticipate the lossing of relationship between critical thinking and science process skills. However, in reality there are many obstacles in measuring both aspects. These problems become the main reason to design integrated assessment that consists of essay which can measure critical thinking and science process skills. The integrated assessment product for electrolyte solution material can be used as alternative instrument to measure critical thinking and science process skills for chemistry educators.

The research objective was to improve the understanding and creative thinking skills of elementary teacher education college student as prospective teachers in following science courses. The research design used is to make college student groups into small groups. During the learning process, observations about college student cooperation during learning with multimedia media were carried out to assess their understanding and creative thinking skills. The results of the observations of each cycle were evaluated as material for reflection in the next cycle to improve college student understanding and creative thinking skills in accordance with predetermined targets. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive quantitative. From the results of the T-test, it was found that there were significant differences. This means that understanding of concepts and Science Process Skills increases after prospective teacher college student experience the science learning process using multimedia learning media. From the results, the average value of understanding the concept increased from 53.61 % to 89.78%.  and science process skills increased the average value from 43.57 to 87.32.  92% of college student gave a positive response, namely agreeing and strongly agreeing that the science lecture process using multimedia learning media can improve science process skills and understanding of material in science subjects for elementary teacher education college student
