| Summary: | Science literacy skills of elementary school students in the era of 21st-century learning are indispensable, scientific literacy skills can be improved through the application of a scientific approach. This study aims to analyze the scientific literacy ability of elementary school students through the application of a scientific approach. The experimental method with a pretest-posttest group design was used in this study. Simple Random Sampling, consisting of an experimental class and a control class, was applied to elementary schools in Cirebon, Indonesia. The scientific literacy skills test (TOSLS) measures students' literacy skills, while the observational assessment measures students' responses to the scientific approach. The data analysis technique used independent sample T-Test and Mann-Whitney U. The results showed that students' learning activities in the application of scientific learning experienced an increase in scientific literacy skills with very strong criteria. Student learning activities in the experimental class have a higher percentage over the control class. The research hypothesis shows that there is a difference in the improvement of students' scientific literacy skills between the experimental class and the control class of elementary school students. Thus, the application of a scientific approach contributes to students' scientific literacy skills. |
