Investigating scientific literacy of students on the topic of water pollution through STEM based 6E learning by design

摘要

Indonesian PISA achievement in 2015 was the lowest of the OECD countries. The average of Indonesia students' scores on PISA 2015 for scientific literacy has been evaluated on the ranked of 62 from 69 countries. This PISA achievement must be improved in 2030. The scientific literacy competence of domain demanded students to have the ability to explain scientific phenomena, evaluate and design scientific investigation, interpret data and scientific facts, where learning stage consists of engage, explore, explain, engineer, enrich, and evaluate. The study aims to investigate scientific literacy of students on the topic of water pollution through STEM Based 6E Learning by Design. The research design used poor experimental design with The One-Group Pretest-Posttest. The research subjects were students of VII class in SMPN Bandung. The research instruments used scientific literacy test (pretest and posttest). The technique of data analysis used N-gain test. The result shows that the mean N-gain of scientific literacy is 0.60 (in medium category).
