Abstract

Scientific literacy is one of the most important aspect students should have, either for now or in the future. Related to educational challenges of the 21st century, this literacy is actually needed to help students in taking decision when they try to solve any problem in any field, understand all the context of changes that probably occurred in society. According to PISA results in 2022, scientific literacy of students in Indonesia was categorized as low. Educational institutions have responsibilities to improve the quality of education, including students’ scientific literacy. Teachers who have good scientific literacy are expected to offer some contributions in improving students’ scientific literacy as well. This research was conducted to analyze the scientific literacy of prospective elementary teachers. Descriptive qualitative method was used, involving 120 students, called as prospective elementary teachers, as research subjects. The data was taken by giving test of scientific literacy using eight indicators of Gormally. questionnaire of students’ learning history, and interview to some research subjects. Furthermore, the data analysis used in this research was inductive technique using Miles and Huberman Model, consisted of several steps; collecting, reducing, displaying, and verifying data as final steps to the conclusion. The result of this research was scientific literacy of prospective elementary teacher still categorized as moderate since the average score was 47,5 with range score around 27 until 63 in each indicator. This result indicated that the lecturer may consider some learning strategies where science process skill of students could be well-developed, integrate science and mathematics courses, engage students in more scientific reading, and together with institutions provide good maintenance in learning facilities. Keywords: scientific literacy, prospective elementary teacher, science courses

Abstract

Scientific literacy is one of the most important aspect students should have to help them in making decisions toward any problem and to understand all the changes that probably occurred in society. According to last PISA results, scientific literacy of Indonesian students categorized as low. Educational institutions and teachers have responsibilities to improve this scientific literacy. This research was conducted to analyze the scientific literacy of prospective elementary teachers. Descriptive qualitative method was used and involve research subjects as much as 120. The data taken by giving scientific literacy test. questionnaire, and interview to some research subjects. The data analysis was inductive technique, consisted of collecting, reducing, displaying, and verifying data. The result was was 47,5 and categorized as moderate. This result indicated that the lecturer may implement learning strategies where science process skill of students could be well-developed, integrate science and mathematics courses, and engage students in scientific reading

Abstract

Elementary teachers play a crucial role in fostering students’ scientific literacy; however, many prospective teachers still demonstrate only moderate levels. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of Science Process Skills (SPS)-based matriculation program designed to enhance their scientific literacy. A mixed-method approach with a convergent parallel design was employed, in which quantitative and qualitative data were collected concurrently, analyzed separately, and subsequently integrated. The participants consisted of 24 first-semester of PGSD students, selected through purposive sampling. The results of the Wilcoxon test revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001), with an average increase of 16.9 points following the program. Further analysis using N-gain and t-test (t(23) = -10.3, p < 0.001) confirmed the effectiveness of the matriculation was indicated as a low-to-moderate level. Thematic analysis indicated that the program supported students in reconstructing their understanding, as well as increasing their interest and confidence in learning science. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, particularly related to time constraints and the organization of physics concept delivery. In conclusion, the SPS-based matriculation program was effective in enhancing the scientific literacy of prospective elementary teachers with further refinement is required to optimize its outcomes.
