“…The results of this research are in line with the previous study, also revealing the students' low scientific literacy performance on each measured indicator (Čipková et al, 2019;Novaristiana, Rinanto, & Ramli, 2019). The low performance can be caused by passive learning because it does not facilitate or direct them in good problem-solving planning (Bellová, Melicherčíková, & Tomčík, 2017). Therefore, teachers should focus on content knowledge as well as procedural and epistemic knowledge.…”

Scientific Literacy (SL) is an important competency to deal with and keep up with the increasingly sophisticated technological developments. However, information about the SL of prospective gifted young scientists over 15 years old has not been widely revealed holistically. Therefore, this survey research aimed to investigate the SL performance of prospective gifted young scientists holistically and compare the SL performance based on the grade level. A total of 278 students from a public senior high school in Jombang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia, participated in this research. They were asked to take the SL test with 18 essential question items. As a result, the participants still showed low SL performance (total success rate = 40). The one-way ANOVA test results indicated no significant difference in the participants' SL performance based on the grade level. Therefore, three recommendations were provided: teachers should use various learning models, SL should be an explicit focus in science and non-science classrooms, and schools need to be equipped with supporting facilities to accommodate student readiness to practice SL.

“…This would help them to enjoy the creation of science and to live new experiences that place them in the scientific role. Bellová, Melicherčíková and Tomčík [36] went into how to increase the effectiveness of teaching the natural sciences subjects, and revealed that understanding how science functions involves a synthesis of content -knowledge of the facts, concepts, ideas and theories-, procedural -the procedures that scientist use to establish scientific knowledge-and epistemic knowledge -that refer to the understanding of the role of specific constructs and defining features which are essential to the process of knowledge building in science-. The challenge is to awaken positive emotions and initiate some of these scientific principles during prospective teachers training and generate prospective teachers who know how to do science.…”

The emotional dimension in education has become increasingly important in recent decades. Enhancing the emotional dimension of prospective teachers in science subjects is higher education stuff responsibility. The implementation of active methodologies could modify the traditional student-teacher roles that are encouraged by the educational policies implemented in the Bologna Process. The principal aim of this work is to describe a Project Based Learning methodology and to introduce it as potential resource for the emotional and cognitive improvement of 19 prospective primary teachers enrolled in a scientific subject. This is a qualitative study with a transversal sustainability approach in the context of a research line focused on Higher Education for Sustainable Development. A questionnaire was designed and filled by the students at two different times, before and after implementation of the activity. The initial feedback from students was surprisingly enthusiastic by the fact that they were working with rockets, despite of this is not a common emotion in the science field. The results show the emotional improvement of prospective teachers after the implementation. It is concluded that a correct science education is necessary during the training of teachers taking into account their emotional dimension and the social repercussion due to the future transmission.

This research purpose is to describe the science literacy skill of Manjushri Junior High School students in Padang. This research used descriptive method. This research is conducted at Manjushri Junior High School in Padang with class VIII students as sample that was determined by purposive sampling. The research instrument is science literacy test that consist of 40 objective test that includes basic and science competency of respiration and excretion system. Data analizing is conducted by quantitative persentation. The result shows that the achievement of student science literacy test based on respiration system basic competency is 35.29%, based on excretion system basic competency is 33,13% and based on science competency is 34,25%. This shows that the scientific literacy skill of Manjushri Junior High School students in the low category.
