The development of scientific literacy assessment to measure student’s scientific literacy skills in energy theme

Abstract

Abstract. The research were aimed to develop and find out of validity, reliability, characteristic of scientific literacy assessment, and find out of the profile of students' scientific literacy skills in Energy themed. The research is conducted in 7 th grade of Secondary School at Demak, Central of Java Indonesia. The research design used R&D (Research and Development). The results of the research showed that the scientific literacy assessment was valid and reliable with 0.68 value in the first try out and 0.73 value in the last try out. The characteristics of the scientific literacy assessment are the difficulty index and the discrimination power. The difficulty index and distinguishing are 56.25% easy, 31.25% medium, and 12.5% very difficult with good discrimination power. The proportion of category of scientific literacy as the body of knowledge, the science as a way of investigating, science as a way of thinking, and the interaction among science, environment, technology, and society was 37.5%:25%:18.75%:18.75%. The highest to the lowest profile of students' scientific literacy skills at Secondary School Demak was 72% in the category of science as a way of thinking and the lowest was 59% in the category of science as the body of knowledge.

The Development and Validation of an Instrument of Prospective Science Teachers’ Perceptions of Scientific Literacy

“…This study aims to develop an instrument in the form of a questionnaire to measure prospective science teachers' perceptions of scientific literacy. The instruments developed are related to scientific literacy skills that have been developed by Hardinata and Permanasari (2017), Rusilowati et al (2018), andAni Rusilowati et al (2016). When examining scientific literacy in the higher education system in Indonesia, especially in science teacher education programs, one crucial point known to researchers is the low awareness of instruments as a key tool for measuring the development of scientific literacy in prospective science teachers.…”

Profile of Science Literacy Skill of Manjushri Junior High School Students in Padang

“…Another way that can be done for practicing students for science literacy is by doing science literacy question by implementing evaluation instrument with science literacybased. Teachers need recomendation for implementing science literacy-based evaluation for practicing students doing literacy test [29,30]. One of the evaluation instruments with science literacy-based that can be implemented in classroom is by using metacognitif test with science literacy based [21].…”

Development of Science Literacy Assessment Based on Multi Representation of Rectilinear Motion Concept to Investigate Students' Science Literacy Competencies

“…Measurements of scientific literacy that have been carried out by previous studies have not yet accommodated multirepresentation content. In general, the concern of researchers, in addition to indicators of scientific literacy, also still focus on mastering the concept of energy [5] [6] [7], Newton's Law [8], Thermodynamics [9], environmental themes [10] and global warming from a physics review [11]. However, based on the analysis of PISA questions, the representation aspect is still not widely used.…”
