Profile of Students’ Scientific Literacy in Physics Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic that is not optimal has an impact on students’ Scientific Literacy (SL). Facts in Indonesia, online learning has not been fully run optimally. In this case, teachers and students are still less adaptable to changes in learning methods. This certainly has an impact on aspects of students’ SL. The main objective is to analyze the initial level of students’ SL during COVID-19 pandemic. Research use 105 senior high school students in Surabaya. Based on the result we can conclude that the profile of students’ SL in Physics learning during COVID-19 pandemic is still at low category, that’s percentage are 28.38% (level 2). It’s means students can perform basic epistemic and procedural knowledge, contain knowledge in daily, basic procedural knowledge to give identification of scientific explanations, interpret scientific data, and draw conclusions from simple experimental data. The implication of this research can be used as empirical evidence stating that the SL of Senior High School students still need to be improved.
