Abstract
This study was focused on building concept mastery, practicum skills, and scientific attitudes among eight grade students through practicum-based science teaching. This study employed a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental study design. Measurements were performed using a concept mastery test, a practicum assessment observation instrument, and a scientific attitude assessment observation instrument. The results of data analysis revealed that students’ concept mastery moderately improved by an average <g> of 0.68, practicum skills improved by ≥ 76%, and scientific attitudes improved by 89.28%. It can be concluded that practicum-based science teaching could help build students’ concept mastery, practicum skills, and scientific attitudes.
