The Validity of the Pro-Based Caturalis Learning Model to Improve Elementary School Students’ Scientific Literacy

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of validity of the Pro-Based Caturalis learning model to increase elementary school students' scientific literacy. This type of research is development research by focusing on the limited scale trial phase. The development was carried out by involving 3 experts to assess the feasibility level of the Pro-Based Caturalis learning model with an average expert rating of 83. Experts rated the developed model in the valid category. The Pro-Based Caturalis Learning Model was tested on 2 elementary schools with a number of 40 students. The average scientific literacy ability of the trial students was in the good category with an average pretest score of 68.5 and a posttest score of 74.25. The increase in scientific literacy scores is influenced by the systematic and innovative syntax of the Pro-Based Caturalist learning model. Besides that, the use of technology-based learning media makes elementary school students' thinking patterns more complex to increase scientific literacy.
