Proyek kerja lapangan ekologi memberikan kesempatan pada mahasiswa untuk melakukan praktik keterampilan proses ilmiah, yaitu berpikir kritis dan memproses informasi dengan melakukan penelitian dan menulis laporan. Penulisan laporan hasil pengamatan di lapangan dapat mengonstruksi keterampilan proses ilmiah mahasiswa dengan membuat generalisasi berdasarkan data. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi keterampilan berpikir kritis dan self-efficacy (tingkat keyakinan terhadap pengerjaan tugas yang dilakukan) mahasiswa pendidikan biologi dalam menulis laporan kerja lapangan ekologi. Mahasiswa melakukan penelitian lapangan pada empat topik ekologi, di antaranya klimatik, akuatik, edafik, dan populasi. Mahasiswa menggunakan data yang didapat dari lapangan untuk dibuat visualisasi dan dianalisis hasilnya yang kemudian dituangkan dalam laporan (tulisan ilmiah). Tingkat keyakinan mahasiswa terhadap laporan yang dibuat dijaring menggunakan kuesioner. Dikusi mengenai implikasi terhadap instruksi dan desain proyek kerja lapangan ekologi menjadi penting untuk meningkatkan keterampilan literasi data dalam penulisan ilmiah.
