“…İlkörücü Göçmençelebi and Özkan (2011) showed that sixth-grade students who read scientific journals and newspapers associated what they learned in science courses with daily life at a higher level. Karademir and Uluçınar (2017) found a positive significant relationship between secondary students' CR skills, science literacy levels, and attitudes toward science.…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of critical reading (CR) practices in science courses on academic achievement, science performance level, and problem-solving skills. The experimental method and factorial design were used. The study was conducted with 102 seventh-grade students from a public school in Turkey during the 2014–2015 academic year. Experimental and control groups were formed. CR practices were followed in the experimental group and teaching practices appropriate to the curriculum were used in the control group. Data were collected with the “Multiple-Choice Academic Achievement Test” to determine the students’ academic level in the “Human and Environment Unit: The Science Performance Level Test” to determine their science performance level and the “Logical Thinking Group Test” to determine the level of their problem-solving skills. The variables of academic achievement and science performance levels were labeled “Academic Performance.” Independent samples two-way ANOVA was applied to analyze the data using SPSS 18.0 software. The results revealed that the students in the experimental group, who were taught science using CR practices, were significantly more successful than the students in the control group, whose teaching was appropriate to the current curriculum in terms of academic achievement, science performance level, and problem-solving skills. It is of critical importance to use such innovative practices, which combine various disciplines, to allow students to excel at reading, which is a basic skill, at all educational levels in order to raise contemporary and social individuals.

“…The difference in the combination of literacy that refers to "written reading material" and which refers to the ability to read the situation and the current condition of the experts to be interesting when handed down on the realm of SMK. As well as the view of science as science and scientific view as a way of achieving life objectives [29] No less complicated when entering the realm of vocational education. Education focused on functional and applied work is proper to focus on human development attention based on science and technology [30].…”

“…This is related to literacy which is currently used as one of the main programs of the government to overcome the lack of reading interest. A research conducted by Karademir (2017) [3] also discussed about the causal relationship among critical reading skills, critical skills, and an attitude of titration. The findings of this study confirm a significant and positive relationship between critical reading skills, literacy skills, and attitudes towards literacy.…”

The main problems of learning are understanding the implementation of learning in schools, the lack of knowledge, or the weak of literacy, as well as the weakness of prospective teacher students ability in the development of learning. The realistic solution offered is the implementation of student-centered learning models, namely problem based learning. In addition, the strengthening of literacy awareness is also an important part in the steps of implementing a learning model that is strengthened by the conservation value as a characteristic of Semarang State University. This research used descriptive research, which prioritizes the description of exist events and take place at the time of learning. The research subjects were six reading learning classes in 2017 and 2018. The results of the study included three things, the effectiveness of reading lectures measured by the achievement of students average score who reached 83.75 for reading comprehension skills. The implementation of conservation value is seen in all steps of learning with a different of conservation value, from inspirational, humanist, caring, creative, and innovative values. Literacy implementation was described by lecturing assignments in the form of reading assistance by applying approaches, models, methods, and reading techniques.
