The results of the hypothesis test showed a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05 with a correlation coefficient of 0.990. This proves a very strong positive relationship, which means that the higher the intensity of the use of simple experimental methods, the higher the scientific literacy of PGSD students. This finding confirms that simple experiments can be a strategic solution for teacher-producing institutions in improving the quality of scientific literacy of prospective educators without relying on the sophistication of laboratory facilities.
