Preliminary analysis of physics lab textbooks using project based learning model to improve the scientific skills of high school students

Physics lab textbook are guides that can help students in physics practice. According to the 2013 curriculum, physics learning requires students to develop 21st century skills, namely Learning and Innovation Skills. One of the learning models in accordance with the demands of this curriculum is Project Based Learning. Through this learning model, students can develop their skills in critical thinking, creative, collaboration and able to communicate to design experiments to produce products in physics practice. Through physics practicum, students should be able to develop scientific skills. The reality was found out, there was still a lack of physics practicum teaching materials, so physics was studied only theoretically. The study goals are to survey the analysis of the needs of teaching materials in schools that are needed in physics practical. This type of the research is analysis descriptive. The instruments research consist of questionnaires and observation sheet. The result of this study prove that it is necessary to develop teaching materials in the form of practical teaching book based on the Project Based Learning model to improve students scientific skill.
