Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Real Science Mask with QR Code on students' problem-solving skills and scientific literacy. This research is a type of experimental research that uses the Pretest Posttest Control Group Design model. The subjects of this study were students in the Integrated Science Education study program for the academic year 2020/2021 of Universitas Negeri Semarang. The sample from the population was divided into experimental class and control class. The observation instrument used an observation sheet based on the assessment indicators of students' activities during learning. Data analysis in this study used quantitative descriptive analysis, where each average value is described in each aspect of the assessment based on indicators. The results showed that the experimental class that applied the Real Science Mask with QR Code had the highest average score of Problem-Solving skills in the assessment aspect of discussing the suitability of scientific phenomena with a score of 9.4 and scientific literacy on the aspect of student assessment in seeking scientific references with a score of 8.8. The posttest results obtained a t-count value of 8,951 with df = 16, consulted with the t-table value at a significance level of 5%, and df = 16 obtained 2,120. These results indicate that the value of t-count is greater than the t-table value (8,951 > 2,120) it means that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Furthermore, the average of these two aspects of the assessment is higher when compared to the control class. These results indicate that the Real Science Mask with QR Code is effective in improving students' problem-solving skills and scientific literacy.

Highlights

The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020-2021 demands changes in all elements, especially in education
The assessment aspects of problem-solving skills developed based on these indicators: analyzing the phenomena in the learning media, compiling follow-ups related to scientific phenomena, realizing the implementation following scientific principles, describing the scientific phenomena based on the facts, reporting the observation results, discussing the suitability of scientific phenomena with facts, finding scientific references related to the phenomena, collaborating the results of scientific references with the results of independent analysis, publishing the results of analysis through scientific reference media
The highest average score was in taking real action to solve the problem, which is at 9.1. This condition proved that the media of Real Science Mask with QR Code made students’ curiosity very big so that they are motivated to develop their scientific literacy skills

Summary

Introduction

The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020-2021 demands changes in all elements, especially in education. The usual face-to-face learning activities turn into online learning. This change requires adaptation and innovation from various parties, including teachers, lecturers, and students. It is hoped that online learning activities will form social sensitivity to the surrounding environment. The social sensitivity of students to the surroun-. Competition in the 4.0 Revolution-era requires all humans to compete globally because better communication technology will open access to extensive competition from all corners of the world. In the tight challenges facing society, a paradigm shift is needed in the education system to provide the 21st-century skill set required
