The aim of this research is to develop a “Science Process Skills Program” (SPSP) for elementary
school grade 4 and determine the effectiveness of this program in terms of acquiring science process skills.
During the development stage of the program, sub-dimensions of science process skills were identified
using an eclectic approach and the gains related to the sub-dimensions were noted. The workgroup of the
research consists of 48 students. Science Process Skill Test (SPST) developed by the researcher and short
answer questions were used in the research. The findings obtained at the end of the research show that
SPSP increases the level of use of science process skills of the students in the experimental group
significantly, compared to the students in the control group
