21st century education aims to improve students' scientific literacy skills. The results of PISA study show that the scientific literacy of Indonesian students is in low category. The low scientific literacy of students is caused by several factors in education system, both from the curriculum, teachers, and students themselves. This study aims to analyze the ability of scientific literacy of Grade X SMA in Sungai Penuh City in terms of the competency aspect of science and the level of science literacy questions. This research is a descriptive research using mixed method and using sequential explanatory design. Sample in this research were 86 students who came from three high schools with high, medium and low categories taken by cluster random sampling technique. The instrument used was a scientific literacy test item and an interview guide sheet. Data analysis technique is done by giving a score for each of students answer then described into value and category of scientific literacy achievements and analyze the interview results. Based on the study results, it is known that the average value of each scientific competency is, 22.66 for competence to explain phenomena scientifically, 47.15 for evaluating and designing scientific investigations competence, and 28.44 for the competence to interpret scientific data and evidence. Based on the question level, the highest score was obtained at level 1 questions with an average value of 46.08 and the lowest was on level 6 questions with an average value of 7.17.
This study investigated the scientific literacy levels of a selected sample of non-science undergraduate students of the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, and Barbados. The study sought to determine if the scientific literacy levels of the students were satisfactory and also if there were statistically significant differences in the scientific literacy levels of the students based on their course of study (social sciences, humanities/education and law), level of study (levels 1, 2 and 3) and age. It further sought to determine the extent to which each of these three selected variables individually and jointly affected the undergraduate students " scientific literacy levels. A sample of 314 students from three faculties participated in this study. Data were collected by means of " Scientific Literacy Test " (SLT) and analyzed using means, standard deviations, and linear regression. The results of the study revealed that the mean score of the participants in the test was 49.21% which implies that an average non-science undergraduate student in the university was below average in his or her scientific literacy level. There were no statistically significant differences among the mean scores of the students " scientific literacy based on course of study (F [2, 311] = .045; p = 0.956), level of study (F [2, 311] = 1.169; p = 0.312), and age (F [6, 307 ] = 0.570; p = 0.754). Moreover, the students " course of study, level of study and age were not significant predictors of the scientific literacy scores. Also, the joint effect of the variables was not significant in predicting the scientific literacy scores of the undergraduate students (F [3, 310] = 0.162; p = 0.922). In this study, the best predictor of undergraduate students " scientific literacy scores, though not statistically significant, was the age of the students.

Data for the study was obtained through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research instruments were the Scientific Literacy Skills Test (SLST) and a semi-structured interview protocol. Eight skills were investigated which were grouped into three clusters. The study provided answers to three research questions. Data obtained were analyzed using the statistical tools of the t-test, descriptive statistics and thematic coding. Findings showed that students did not possess the scientific literacy skills required for them to function effectively after graduation in society. Besides, male students possessed more scientific literacy skills than their female counterparts in all three clusters of skills examined. Also, finding revealed that students used scientific literacy skills to solve real-life problems such as taking decisions and solving security problems. The

ArticAn analysis of primary school students' scientific literacyle Text
Journal of Research in Instructional, 2024
The study aims to analyze the scientific literacy skills of elementary school students. In addition, differences in scientific literacy based on gender were also examined in this study. The study is quantitative and measures students' scientific literacy. Researchers investigated the literacy profile of sixth-grade students in one of the primary schools in Malang City. The target population was 107 sixth-grade students. The sampling technique was saturated, and the population was included in the sample. Data were collected using ten multiple-choice tests. The findings were analyzed by calculating the results of the validity and reliability tests, percentages, mean, and the Mann-Whitney test to calculate the differences in scientific literacy of boys and girls. The results showed that ten items were valid (sig. <0.05), and the reliability was 0.72. The results of the study showed that the less category dominated students' scientific literacy, while only 2.80% achieved excellence. The average total scientific literacy of students was less (45.51). There is no difference in the scientific literacy of girls and boys. It can be concluded from this study that the scientific literacy skills of sixth-grade primary school students are lacking but do not show significant differences between boys and girls. The results of this research are the basis for developing students' scientific literacy in the future by creating appropriate learning.
