Research in the form of analysis of science literacy of students in one high school in Bandung has 6 class XII which populations, and taking 1 class as a randomly selected sample. Data collection techniques derived from assessment question of temperature and the heat that has been validated and interviews using interview guidelines. The results showed that the ability of high school students in science literacy is still low with the percentage of each indicator in the aspect of knowledge, 63.45%, Procedural content 73,79% m and epistemic 43.45% if averaged became 60.23%. Science literacy requires increased lace through science literacy trained learning or to develop instruments that can trained the science literacy of the students.
Reasoning in psychological perspective may be defined as set of mental processes used to derive inferences or conclusions from premises (Samarapungavan, 2009). Reasoning helps us to generate new knowledge and to organize existing knowledge making it more usable for future mental work. Reasoning therefore becomes central to many forms of thought such as scientific, critical, and creative thinking, argumentation, problem solving, and decision making. Reasoning is an inevitable part of the various aspects of academic inquiry. In this paper, the Investigators tried to find out the relationship between Scientific reasoning and Achievement in Chemistry of Secondary school students for total sample and for the subsample Gender. They also tried to find out whether there exists any significant difference in the Scientific reasoning and Achievement in Chemistry of Secondary school students based on their Gender. Proper statistical techniques were used to collect, standardize and Analyze the data.

Scientific Reasoning Abilities Profil of Junior High School Students in Jambi
Indonesian Journal of Science and Education
This study aims to determine the profile of scientific reasoning ability of junior high school students in Jambi. The type of this research is descriptive quantitative, while the research design using survey type cross-sectional design. The population in this study were junior high school students in Jambi City with a total of 25,789 students. The sampling technique used is cluster sampling. The sample used in this study is 1146 students from 15 schools with different accreditation levels. Techniques of data collection of this study are using the problem of reasoning abilities from lawson's classroom test of scientific reasoning (CTSR) in 2000. The results showed that 100% of the sample is concrete. With the ability of Conservation of matter and volume as the most ability owned by students with the percentage of 16.1% and the lowest ability is the ability of Proportional reasoning with a percentage of 3.0%. This shows that students have not been able to use their reasoning for abstract things. In general, no reasoning ability that has a percentage of 50% indicates that students' reasoning ability in junior high school is still very low and fundamental.

Current educational reforms consider scientific reasoning skills as significant to engage students into generate scientific explanations. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a teacher-training program, which is based on gaining knowledge, instructional strategies and skills for science teachers to promote students' scientific reasoning skills. The participants of this research, which was in holistic single case study design, were an in-service science teacher who had attended to Scientific Reasoning Skills Training Program (SRSTP) and his thirty-two 5th grade students. Teaching Scientific Reasoning Skills Observation Form (TSROF), and Force and Motion Scientific Reasoning Skills Test (FMSRT) were used as data collection tools. Results indicated that the trained teacher showed success at the rate of maximum %61,06 of observed phenomena with %47,76 of them in behaviors dimension and the students showed significant developments both in total score of FMSRT and especially in inductive, deductive, causal, analogical reasoning skills and control of variables strategy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the scientific reasoning ability of the prospective student teacher, and to analyze the difference in scientific reasoning ability between students in the study programs. The sample set consisted of 179 students joining the Excellence Program of Mathematics and Science Teacher Education in the Faculty of Teacher Education (FTE) in the University of Mataram. The Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning (CTSR) was translated into Indonesian language and used to measure the student scientific reasoning ability. The results of this study revealed that 95.5% students had low reasoning ability and were categorized as concrete and transitional reasoner. Only few students (4.5%) reached the category of formal operational reasoner. In addition, significant differences of the students reasoning ability emerged among the third and the fifth semester students, as well as students in the four study programs.
