Scientific literacy is define as the capacity of use scientific knowledge in order to understand and help make decision about the natural world and the changes made it through human activity. Teachers are a major factor in the success of learning, therefore it is necessary to test the scientific literacy skill of biology teacher students. This study aims to find out science literacy of biology teacher students and the corellation between of integrated science process skill, and reading comprehension skill of biology teacher students to their scientific literacy skill. The method for this research used the survey method with correlational studies. The sample of this research is 81 students of biology teacher students of Jakarta State University. The results shows that the scientific literacy of biology education students is destitute. It is shown from the average score of their scientific literacy skill which is 45.58. This study shows that correlation coefficient obtained is 0,457 which means that there is correlation between integrated science process skill with scientific literacy skill. This study also shows that there is correlation between reading comprehension skill with with scientific literacy skill which correlation coefficient obtained is 0,214.
Scientific Reasoning is the systematic and logical thinking skills for problem solving. The purpose of this preliminary study is to find out the scientific reasoning profile of students in grade XI of Sukabumi City Public High School on Ecosystem material which was conducted in February in the 3rd week in one of the Sukabumi City State High Schools. This research uses descriptive method, the approach used is quantitative approach. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique of 30 students. This research instrument was in the form of a scientific reasoning test developed by Lawson namely the LCTSR (Lawson Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning) type. The questions used consist of 35 multiple choice questions with LCTSR type with 6 indicators of scientific reasoning namely proportional, probabilistic, correlational, identification and control of variables, volume conservation and hypothetic-deductive. Data analysis with scoring technique is done in pairs which gives a description of the pattern and level of students' scientific reasoning abilities. From the results of the study showed that the scientific reasoning profile of class XI State Senior High School students in Sukabumi City in 2019/2020 had the highest reasoning pattern in the transitional operational category of 76.7% and had a level of scientific reasoning in the less-than-average category. average percentage of 30.05%. But these results must still be improved again by using methods, models and learning approaches that are able to train students' scientific reasoning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
