Abstract

The importance of science literacy skills prompted this study to analyze the profile of science literacy competence of junior high school students in biodiversity in Indonesia. OECD defines science literacy as the ability to identify questions, acquire new knowledge, explain scientific phenomena, and draw conclusions based on facts. This research uses a quantitative approach involving 200 students from SMP Negeri 1 Pagaden Subang and SMPN 2 Pagaden Subang. The E-Test consisted of 25 questions distributed via WhatsApp Group by natural science subject teachers. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel and grouped based on the difficulty level of the questions (low, medium, high). The results show that junior high school students' science literacy skills are still in the low category. In explaining scientific phenomena competence, the percentage of correct answers for low and medium difficulty questions reached 66% and 67%, respectively, while for high difficulty questions it was only 55%. In evaluating and designing scientific investigations competence, questions with low difficulty levels had the highest percentage of correct answers (68%), followed by medium (56%) and high difficulty levels (43%). In interpreting scientific data and evidence competence, questions with low difficulty levels reached 78%, medium 69%, and high 58%. These findings are consistent with previous studies showing the low science literacy of students in various regions of Indonesia. Therefore, more intensive and sustainable efforts are needed to improve students' science literacy through more effective and interactive learning methods and teacher training. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in formulating more appropriate education strategies to improve students' science literacy competence in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the progress of ethnoscience research published on Google Scholar between 1966 and 2023, utilizing a computational bibliometric analysis approach with the assistance of the Publish or Perish and VOSviewer applications. Parameters including title, publication type, keywords, Citation, and year range were utilized to select the relevant data obtained from the Publish or Perish applications, resulting in a compilation of 252 articles related to the chosen theme, each spanning a period of 10 years, starting from theory, society, culture, and education, up to chemistry and physic subjects, supported by highly cited journal findings. The trending topics in the field of education are approaches and learning media. Based on the gathered data, it is evident that there are still numerous opportunities for further research in the field of Ethnoscience. The utilization of the VOSviewer application can aid in identifying problematic areas that can be explored as potential research innovation topics within the field of ethnoscience. Future research should explore the integration of ethnoscience with sustainability, digital learning, and global challenges while addressing gaps in knowledge and underrepresented contexts.
