In the learning of Science in schools the introduction to the Science process is taught at the early part of the
syllabus of each Science subject and is strengthened continually through various kinds of experiments from each
chapter of the subject . Nevertheless , according to Akinbobola and Afolabi (2010), the students tend to acquire
basic skills (lower level) in the science process, but not competency in the science process. Thus, there are several
factors that can explain why there is a drastic change of competency level in the integrated science process in such a
short duration of time when this programme was conducted. The learning activiti in the lichen module have given
the opportunity for each participant to do the experiment. Although the number of participants in each group is
rather large, every student will still have a chance to participate together as the experiment in the determination of
air quality involve the counting of the lichen population repeatedly. Each time the experimental activiti is
conducted, the participants are given a different role to play. Various tasks were given, i.e. as the person responsible
for taking notes, determining the direction, placing the quadrant on the palm tree, identifying the type of lichens and
counting the population of the lichens, determining the air quality index, determing the status of air quality and
mapping the results of comparing the air quality. Thus, with the conceptof rotation of duties practiced in this
learning activity, each participant have the opportunity to enhance their skills in implementing the experiments as
well as the skills in other science process.
3.3 Feedback from the implementation of the program
Based on the feedback from questionnaires which wasreceived from the participants, overall the participants and
the teachers were satisfied with the organization of the programmed. The mean value for each section of the
questionnaire exceed 4.00, indicating that the participant and the teachers agree that the learning programmed they
participate was successful in delivering the knowledge about lichens in a clear manner and easily applicable to
environmental studies. The experimentconducted was enjoyable and easy to conduct. Their perception in learning
science underwent a positive change. The organization of the programmed was also satisfactory in terms of logistics,
facilities provided and the warm hospitality.
