Issues of Developing Scientific Literacy in Science Learning: Systematic Literature Review

I Gusti Ayu Ngurah Kade Sukiastini, Ni Putu Juni Artini, Irwan Febryan

Abstract

Scientific literacy is a person's ability to apply scientific ideas in everyday life, explain scientific phenomena, and justify these ideas using scientific evidence. In learning the Natural Sciences (IPA), scientific literacy encompasses not only scientific knowledge but also scientific processes and attitudes. Therefore, this article aims to examine the key issues in developing scientific literacy in science education and to provide strategic recommendations for improving students' scientific literacy. This research uses a qualitative systematic literature review approach, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Inclusion data in this research were mapped using several criteria, such as: 1) Research articles using quantitative methods (experiment, descriptive, correlation) and qualitative methods (case studies); 2) The articles used were primary sources;  3) Articles have full text (contains abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion/discussion); 4) Articles with a year range between 2019 and 2024.

The results of this research are that a local wisdom-based approach, an inquiry-based learning model, socioscientific issues (SSI), the Science Literacy Circles (SLC) method, textbook development, student worksheets (LKS), comprehensive evaluation, curriculum development, use of technology, increasing teacher abilities in scientific literacy, and active student involvement are issues of developing scientific literacy that can significantly improve students' scientific literacy.
