Empowering scientific literacy skills through an integrated SSCS learning model with RQA strategies

Understanding science is needed in the context of scientific literacy. Scientific literacy cannot be separated from the role of reading literacy. Literacy is a prerequisite component so that students can have four life competencies namely Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Communication (4C). This research is quasi-experimental research with a pretest and post-test non-equivalent control group design. The population is students from SMP Negeri 9 and 17 with a class VIII sample of 105 students. The instrument for assessing students' scientific literacy skills is in the form of multiple-choice tests and essays prepared to represent indicators of scientific literacy, namely: 1) identifying scientific problems/phenomena, 2) interpreting data and drawing conclusions, 3) understanding science concepts, and 4) applying science concepts to life. Data on students' scientific literacy abilities analyzed using the t-test. using the SPSS ver. 20. The research results obtained show that there is a difference in scientific literacy between the SSCS model treatment group integrated with RQA learning strategies and the conventional model. The SSCS+RQA class experienced an increase of 52.48%. The significant increase changed the scientific literacy category from low to very high. Meanwhile, the RQA control class experienced an increase of 33.89%. This increase was also able to change the scientific literacy category from low to high.

Analysis of Indonesian Students Scientific Literacy Ability in Chemistry Learning: A Systematic Literature Review

This study aims to examine the results of the analysis of scientific literacy abilities of Indonesian students in chemistry learning. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which consists of five stages, namely question formulation, locating studies, study selection and evaluation, analysis and synthesis, reporting and using the results. Based on a study of 15 reputable journals indexed scopus (International Journal) and sinta (National Journal), the scientific literacy abilities of Indonesian students at the high school level and the education of prospective teachers are in the sufficient category, but there are still many who are in the low category. This is because students are not familiar with scientific literacy questions and learning which rarely trains individuals to make arguments based on observations or investigations, making it difficult for them to work on questions that require an analysis of existing scientific evidence or facts. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to improve scientific literacy skills through the application of learning models that train the ability to apply scientific knowledge that has been obtained in solving problems in everyday life. Problem-based learning models, ethnoscience-based learning, contextual-based guided inquiry learning, and also project-based learning.

The Effect Of Learning Media Management And Self-Motivation On Science Literacy Ability

The basis of this paper is the teacher's ability to manage the learning media used during learning because it is an important component in delivering teaching materials. Learning objectives can be effectively achieved if teachers can manage the media needs of each teaching material and use it appropriately. The post-pandemic learning process is felt to be less meaningful and tends to be boring for students, so teachers must be able to innovate in choosing and creating learning media that can motivate students to learn. This study aims to determine the benefits and effects of using "KARCIL" media in improving the science literacy of students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah. The focus of the paper lies in the use of "KARCIL" media in Natural Sciences (IPA) subjects with a quantitative approach of the field research model through interviews and observations and the distribution of questionnaires to students used as samples. The results of the study obtained were (1) There was a significant influence between the use of "KARCIL" media on science literacy skills students, amounting to 0.001 with a confidence level of 10%, (2) There was a significant influence between self-motivation and science literacy ability of 0.011 with a confidence level of 10% and (3) There is a significant influence between the value of the coefficient of determination for the Nagelkerke model of 64% and 36% influenced by other factors that are not studied. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that good management of learning media and appropriate use by teachers can improve students' literacy ability and learning achievement.

Content Validity Analysis of the PISA-Science Literacy Test for SMP Unismuh Makassar Students on the Topic of Optical Instruments

This research aims to analyse the content validity of the PISA-science literacy test on the topic of optical instruments. The design of this test aims to measure the scientific literacy abilities of eighth grade students at SMP Unismuh Makassar. The design of this test was developed based on core competencies and basic competencies and adapted to scientific literacy indicators, especially in science learning material on the topic of Optical Instruments which includes aspects of explaining scientific phenomena, evaluating and designing scientific research, as well as aspects of interpreting scientific data and evidence which are then formulated into 5 questions in the form of essay questions. The method used in this research is the descriptive analysis method as content validity analysis based on Lawshe’s formula calculations which have become known as the CVR and I-CVI coefficients. Content validity data was obtained from validation results from five experts with different expertise backgrounds in the field of science education. The expert validation results were then analysed to determine the level of content validity of the PISA-science literacy test which was developed using the Lawshe’s formula. The research results showed that the CVR coefficient value obtained was 0.99 with a total of five expert judgments, so it was declared accepted. Further analysis was obtained by obtaining an I-CVI coefficient value of 0.99 with the appropriate category. Based on the CVR and I-CVI coefficient values, it can be concluded that the content validity of the PISA-science literacy test developed is in the appropriate category and supports the entire content of the test as a whole.

Development of STREAM-Based Learning Media to Improve Students' Science Literacy on The Matter Forms of Substances and Its Changes

Science learning in the merdeka curriculum expects students not only to understand concepts, but to be able to apply science concepts in everyday life. The results of TIMSS and PISA state that the science literacy ability of Indonesian students is still very low. Through initial observations and interviews showed that the use of IT-based learning media and the involvement of students in the science learning process is still lacking. Science, technology, religion, engineering, art, and mathematic (STREAM) approach is useful to build a meaningful learning. This research aims to develop STREAM-based learning media to improve students' science literacy. The method used is RD with a model define, design, development and disseminate (4D). The data analysis technique uses SPSS to perform normality tests and independent t-tests. The increase in variables is measured by N-Gain. the expert validity analysis test obtained a material validity value of 0.93, media validity of 0.94, and language validity of 0.95. The final validity value of the STREAM-based learning media was 0.94 with valid criteria. The analysis of student's responses to the readability of STREAM-based learning media obtained 92.5% with very good criteria. The N-Gain test result in experimental group obtained a score of 0.72 in the high category higher than the control group which obtained a score of 0.37 in the medium category. Based on these results, STREAM-based learning media appears to be feasible and could contribute to enhancing students' science literacy skills related to the material forms of substances and its changes
