Scientific literacy is very important to generation Z (Gen-Z), while Gen-z’s scientific literacy in Indonesia needs to be improved. The use of gadgets by Gen-Z almost all the time in their daily lives enables research to improve scientific literacy by using gadgets. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of gadget-based interactive multimedia to improve Gen-Z scientific literacy and describe the Gen-Z response to interactive multimedia. This research was a pre-experiment study with one group pretest and posttest design. Interactive multimedia was designed to be applied on gadget, consists of Socioscientific Issues (SSI) which was relevant to pressure concepts. This research involved two junior high schools in East Java, Indonesia. Scientific literacy test instrument was designed based on scientific literacy aspects of PISA 2015. The inferential test results showed that posttest score was significantly greater than the pretest in the two schools. Results showed that the mean score of students’ scientific literacy at School I increased from 39.6 to 74.0 and N-gain score was 0.57 which was in medium category. In addition, the average scientific literacy score of students in School II also increased from 31.5 to 59.9 and Ngain score was 0.41 which was in the medium category. The inferential test results also showed that there were no significant N-gain differences in the two schools. It can be concluded that interactive multimedia developed effective to improve students’ scientific literacy. However, Gen-Z students cannot be satisfied with the multimedia. Students suggest several multimedia enhancements in terms of visual, audio, and music, so that they can enjoy the multimedia all the time by using the device.

Abstrak Makalah ini memaparkan langkah-langkah dalam pengembangan instrumen motivasi belajar, khususnya terkait dengan penentuan aspek-aspek motivasi belajar fisika yang dapat digunakan sebagai dasar dalam merumuskan indikator-indikator motivasi belajar tersebut. Adapun aspek-aspek motivasi belajar yang digunakan sebagai dasar dalam pengembangan instrumen motivasi tersebut, meliputi: Choice of tasks, Effort, Persistence, dan Self-confidence. Berdasarkan keempat aspek motivasi tersebut, selanjutnya dirumuskan indikator-indikator motivasi belajar fisika. Akhirnya, indikator-indikator itulah yang dipakai sebagai dasar untuk merumuskan butir-butir pernyataan dalam suatu angket sebagai instrumen untuk mengukur motivasi belajar fisika. Instrumen motivasi belajar tersebut berupa angket dengan menggunakan skala Likert. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, ternyata instrumen motivasi belajar fisika yang dikembangkan ini memiliki nilai keterbacaan Baik, validitas isi juga Baik, bahkan dapat dikatakan Sangat Baik, yaitu dengan nilai 4,52 dari nilai maksimal 5. Sedangkan derajat reliabilitasnya Sangat Tinggi, yaitu dengan ditunjukkan oleh nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,948. Derajat reliabilitas instrumen tersebut diperoleh dengan metode test-retest dengan tenggang waktu antara pengambilan data I dan data II yaitu selama dua minggu.Kata Kunci: choice of tasks, effort, persistence, self-confidence, motivasi belajar.

The study aims to develop local wisdom – based teaching materials to improve elementary school students' scientific literacy skills, using a 4-D model: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The subjects of testing included 37 of fourth-grade students at SDN Gading 6 Surabaya. In addition, data were collected through validation sheets, tests of scientific literacy skills, and student questionnaires. The data analysis used descriptive statistics, N-gain, and different tests. The results showed that local wisdom – based teaching materials could be implemented as an alternative source of learning natural science in elementary schools, compliance with the criteria of a) valid in terms of fulfilling the 98% validity assessment score with very valid criteria b) practical reviewed from the 3.64 scores with very good criteria c) effective with a 0.5average N-gain, there are significant differences between the pretest and posttest scores,and 100% of positive responses.
