Abstract

Technological and engineering literacy is a capability that must be imparted to students in order to be able to compete globally and be able to solve 21st century problems. This study aims to describe aspects of technological and technical literacy of junior high school students. This type of research is descriptive quantitative analysis. Data were obtained from technological and technical literacy test instruments. The test instrument is adopted from tests issued by NAEP. Data were analyzed quantitatively. The research results show that 69.2% in the complete category, 15.4% in the Partial category and incomplete in the Understanding of Technology Principles aspect. The aspect of Developing Solutions and Achieving Goals as many as 54.8% of students fall into the complete category, 19.2% in the Satisfactory category, 15.4% the Essential category, 7.7% the Partial category, and 26.9% incomplete category. Meanwhile, the Communication and Collaboration aspect, 65.4% were in the complete category, and 34.6% were in the incomplete category. three types of assessment targets in the three main TEL assessment areas, with the most complete category being Gather and Organize data and information, followed by Identification of examples of systems or processes and Representation of alternative analysis and solutions. Science learning involving real experiences and design and engineering processes related to technological principles will make students technologically and engineering literate and can improve students' critical thinking and problem solving abilities.

Abstract

Technology and engineering literacy (TEL) is an essential competency for pre-service science teachers in meeting the demands of the modern workforce. However, existing TEL assessment instruments are often insufficiently aligned with developing country contexts. This study aimed to develop and validate a contextual Technology and Engineering Literacy Instrument (TELI) for pre-service science teachers. The instrument was developed based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) TEL framework and incorporated scenario-based assessments reflecting real-world problems. A psychometric instrument development and validation design was employed. Content validity was evaluated by five experts, and field testing involved 132 pre-service science teachers in Riau Province, Indonesia. Rasch model analysis was used to examine construct validity, item fit, and reliability. The results demonstrated high content validity and acceptable construct validity, item fit, and reliability. These findings indicate that TELI is a valid, reliable, and contextually relevant instrument for assessing TEL competencies. The study concludes that TELI can support authentic assessment in science teacher education and provide a practical tool for evaluating and improving technology and engineering literacy in developing country contexts.
