Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of the Balinese megedong-gedongan local culture-based flipbook in enhancing science literacy among students. This research aims to increase scientific literacy through flipbooks based on Balinese culture, especially megedong-gedongan. Mastery of scientific literacy opens the door to various job opportunities in science, technology, and innovation. In the digital and knowledge-based era, the demand for human resources with a strong understanding of science and technology continues to increase. Employing a classroom action research methodology, the study involved 47 Biology and Marine Affairs students at the Ganesha University of Education, Indonesia. The study used a valid and reliable scientific literacy test as an instrument. The results reveal that the Bali megedong-gedongan flipbook effectively improved science literacy. This is evidenced by a significant increase in student science test scores after using the flipbook. The data analysis results show that using megedong-gedongan Balinese culture-based flipbooks can significantly increase student scientific literacy. In addition, students more easily relate learning material to their daily lives, which impacts increasing scientific literacy. This research suggests that integrating local culture into science teaching materials can effectively increase scientific literacy among students.
