Science literacy is a key factor in overcoming real-life problems, but it needs to be adequately trained in schools. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of STEM-integrated problem-based learning (STEM-PBL) in enhancing students' science literacy skills. This research is part of research and development with the ADDIE model in the implementation and evaluation stages. The implementation test used a one-group pre-test and post-test design on 58 students divided into two groups. The data collection instruments were science literacy tests and an interview questionnaire. The results showed that: (1) paired t-test results showed that there was a significant increase in students' science literacy skills in both groups; (2) independent t-test results showed that there was no significant difference in the average N-gain score of science literacy in both groups; and (3) n-gain test results for science literacy showed an increase in science literacy in both groups in high criteria. Thus, STEM-PBL is effective in enhancing students' science literacy. STEM-PBL can be the leading solution to realizing the science literacy movement in schools.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
