Science Laboratory Activities: A Profile of the Implementation and Constraints of Junior High School Natural Science Teachers by Adam Malik, Hasniah Aliah, Seni Susanti, Mujib Ubaidillah, Ramdani Wahyu Sururie

“…The technical analysis of the data was conducted by calculating the average percentage of each answer choice of each statement. This research reveals that 1) the students’ motivation for conducting laboratory activities is high; 2) the implementation of laboratory activities is conducted separately by employing theoretical classroom learning; 3) the source of guidance for laboratory activities is a model of cookbook laboratory; and 4) some obstacles in laboratory activities include insufficient laboratory spaces, less standardized and insufficient number of most equipment, the availability of manuals for laboratory activities, insufficient instructions to use laboratory equipment, and teachers’ difficulties in designing, implementing, and evaluating laboratory activities. …”
