An Analysis of Student’s Scientific Literacy Skills of Senior High School in Sungai Penuh City Based on Scientific Competence and Level of Science Literacy Questions

Abstract

21st century education aims to improve students' scientific literacy skills. The results of PISA study show that the scientific literacy of Indonesian students is in low category. The low scientific literacy of students is caused by several factors in education system, both from the curriculum, teachers, and students themselves. This study aims to analyze the ability of scientific literacy of Grade X SMA in Sungai Penuh City in terms of the competency aspect of science and the level of science literacy questions. This research is a descriptive research using mixed method and using sequential explanatory design. Sample in this research were 86 students who came from three high schools with high, medium and low categories taken by cluster random sampling technique. The instrument used was a scientific literacy test item and an interview guide sheet. Data analysis technique is done by giving a score for each of students answer then described into value and category of scientific literacy achievements and analyze the interview results. Based on the study results, it is known that the average value of each scientific competency is, 22.66 for competence to explain phenomena scientifically, 47.15 for evaluating and designing scientific investigations competence, and 28.44 for the competence to interpret scientific data and evidence. Based on the question level, the highest score was obtained at level 1 questions with an average value of 46.08 and the lowest was on level 6 questions with an average value of 7.17.

Research Module Development of Animal Tissue Structure and Function

“…But overall, research-based modules trigger independent learning (Prawiyogi et al, 2020) learning outcomes (Rusilowati, 2018) and 4C/ Creativity and Innovation, Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving) (Monica et al, 2021). This is in line with Fitriyati et al (2015), that the implementation of research-based modules can improve learning outcomes, and scientific literacy Sutrisna et al (2020), and make learning effective and efficient (Mulyasari, 2021). Research-based modules have tasks that can stimulate student creativity (Fitriani et al, 2022).…”

Student Literacy Skills on Academic Performance as the Implication of Online Learning to University Students

“…Based on the average value above, it can be concluded that the level of information literacy ability on the indicator of explaining phenomena of the students of the University of Borneo Tarakan scientifically is fairly good. The following is the data distribution and average calculation for the second competency: (Sutrisna, 2020) Table 4.22 shows the total score of each indicator of explaining phenomena scientifically obtained from the undergraduate students is 8.59 points. Therefore, the average score of the competency is 2.86 points which in the a good category.…”

“…Average: ∑ score : N = 9.18 : 3 = 3.06 Good (Sutrisna, 2020) Table 4.32 shows the total score of each indicator of Identifying Scientific Issues obtained from the undergraduate students is 9.18 points. Therefore, the average score of the competency is 3.06 points, which is categorized as a good category.…”
