Abstract

The goal of education is to develop students' abilities. These abilities are expected to grow and develop in accordance with the values ​​prevailing in society and the nation's culture. The approach related to scientific and social issues is known as the socioscientific approach. In general, this approach provides a way for students to learn about scientific research through case development, which can be implemented through classroom discussions and problem-based learning. The method applied in this article is the  review literature Study (SLR). This approach is generally used to review articles and publish the results of the review in new articles. The procedures used in this technique include formulating the topic to be researched, establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria or a screening process. If necessary, these elements are found and then analyzed. The results of the analysis are organized based on what has been read. Articles to be analyzed will be obtained by searching the Publish Or Perish application for databases from Google Scholar and Crossref, searching for research literature that aligns with the keywords: socioscientific issues in science learning. The SLR method allows researchers to systematically review and identify journals where each process follows predetermined steps. The inclusion criteria used were articles from 2023-2026, research topics covering socioscientific issues in science learning. Exclusion criteria were research articles that cannot be accessed completely, are not full text, non-science, non-junior high school, and all those in languages ​​other than English and Indonesian. The literature stages are based on using Research Questions to make the discussion more focused and to make it easier for researchers in the review literature process. Socioscientific issues (Socioscientific Issues) are issues that describe social problems in society within a conceptual, procedural, or technological context of science. The use of socioscientific issues in science learning can encourage students to actively engage in dialogue, discussion, and debate, which can provide opportunities for them to evaluate their understanding and improve their mastery of concepts related to the material they have learned. Currently, one of the topics being discussed is environmental challenges, namely climate change and rising global temperatures. Global temperature rise is a phenomenon that can be studied and addressed with the help of science.

Abstract

Education in the 21st century demands students to possess critical and creative thinking skills, effective communication abilities, and collaborative competencies in the learning process. Science education plays a strategic role in integrating literacy skills with scientific understanding, as it examines natural phenomena through systematic scientific methods. In science learning, students are expected not only to master scientific concepts but also to develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-life contexts. However, scientific literacy that integrates cultural perspectives remains insufficiently emphasized in the Indonesian education curriculum. Incorporating scientific literacy through cultural contexts is essential as an effort to strengthen students’ sense of patriotism and appreciation of national cultural identity. This article employs a literature review method by analyzing and synthesizing findings from national research articles related to ethnoscience-based learning and scientific literacy. A meta-analysis approach was conducted by tracing relevant publications indexed in Google Scholar and Portal Garuda from 2023 to 2025. The selected articles were analyzed descriptively to identify patterns, key findings, and implications regarding the effectiveness of ethnoscience-based learning in enhancing students’ scientific literacy. The results of the analysis indicate that ethnoscience-based learning contributes positively to students’ attitudes toward science, conceptual understanding, and scientific reasoning skills. This approach emphasizes integrated understanding by connecting scientific concepts with local culture, traditional knowledge, and the surrounding environment, thereby making learning more contextual and meaningful. Furthermore, the appropriate use of learning media aligned with instructional objectives, learning materials, and students’ characteristics is crucial in supporting the successful implementation of ethnoscience-based learning. Overall, ethnoscience-based learning is a promising approach to improving scientific literacy while preserving and valuing local cultural wisdom.ABSTRAKPendidikan abad ke-21 menuntut peserta didik memiliki keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kreatif, kemampuan berkomunikasi secara efektif, serta keterampilan bekerja sama dalam proses pembelajaran. Pembelajaran IPA memiliki peran strategis dalam mengintegrasikan kemampuan literasi dengan pemahaman sains, karena IPA mempelajari fenomena alam melalui metode ilmiah yang sistematis. Dalam pembelajaran IPA, peserta didik tidak hanya dituntut memahami konsep, tetapi juga mengembangkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah, berpikir kritis, dan penerapan pengetahuan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Namun demikian, literasi sains yang terintegrasi dengan aspek budaya masih jarang mendapat perhatian dalam kurikulum pendidikan di Indonesia. Padahal, penerapan literasi sains berbasis budaya penting sebagai upaya menumbuhkan rasa cinta tanah air melalui penguatan identitas budaya bangsa. Artikel ini menggunakan metode kajian pustaka dengan menganalisis dan menelaah artikel penelitian nasional yang relevan dengan pembelajaran berbasis etnosains dan literasi sains. Penelusuran artikel dilakukan melalui Google Scholar dan Portal Garuda pada rentang tahun 2023–2025. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode deskriptif untuk menggambarkan temuan penelitian, kemudian disintesis guna memperoleh kesimpulan mengenai peran pembelajaran berbasis etnosains dalam meningkatkan literasi sains. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis etnosains mampu mengembangkan sikap positif terhadap sains, meningkatkan pemahaman konsep, serta memperkuat kemampuan berpikir ilmiah peserta didik. Pendekatan ini menekankan pemahaman terpadu dengan mengaitkan konsep sains dengan budaya lokal, pengetahuan tradisional, dan lingkungan sekitar sehingga pembelajaran menjadi lebih kontekstual dan bermakna. Selain itu, pemilihan media pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan tujuan, materi, dan karakteristik peserta didik menjadi faktor penting dalam mendukung efektivitas pembelajaran berbasis etnosains.
