Abstract

This research aims to analyze (i) the initial curiosity, motivation, and science process skills of students (ii) the relationship between curiosity and science process skills; (iii) the relationship between intrinsic motivation and science process skills; and (iv) the relationship between curiosity and intrinsic motivation toward science process skills.The subject in this study is students of 7th grade An-Nizam Junior High School Medan. This type of research is quantitative descriptive. Data about the curiosity, intrinsic motivation and science process skills were collected by test and nontest instruments. This research was analyzed by using linear regression. The results showed that the intrinsic motivation and curiosity of An-Nizam students are already in the high category but students' science process skills are still low. There is no significant relationship between curiosity and science process skills (0.478 > 0.05), intrinsic motivation and science process skills (0.910 > 0.05) and curiosity and intrinsic motivation toward science process skills (0.673> 0.05).
