The main purpose of this study was to understand the ability of students to conduct
experiments in Biology education programs with different educational backgrounds. Descriptive method with
quantitative approach was used to analyze data inductively. Determination of the sample with
a purposive technique, namely as many as 37 students who took the general Biology course in the 2018/2019
academic year. The results showed that the ability to carry out experimental studies of Biology teacher
candidates was 97.6% with an excellent category.There are four aspects of carrying out the experimental study
skills analyzed, namely: 1) determining the tools and materials, 2) grouping the data, 3) drawing conclusions,
and 4) describing the results of the study. Rating with the lowest score is the skill to describe the results of the
study. The ability to carry out experiments is an important part of the scientific method, which in the learning
process is used to find concepts, theories or scientific facts through a series of stages of the scientific method such
as a scientist in Biology education.
