Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to analyze the students' profiles of planning and carrying out investigations (PCOI).
Methodology: This research is used as a descriptive method involving 40 students of 10th grade from two senior high schools in Boyolali regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The instrument is five questions based on the indicators of science and engineering practices by California Science Test Practices.
Main Findings: The average student's correct answer is 42%. The result of the study represented that planning and carrying out investigations ability students categorized into a low level.
Applications of this study: The involvement of this research is to improve students' science and engineering practices, especially in the aspects of planning and carrying out investigations, that can facilitate students in learning physics.
The Originality of this study: This research has an innovation that aims to determine student's profiles of planning and carrying out investigations in work and energy materials using a two-level test adapted from the California science test practice.
