Abstract


Abstract Science learning has concepts related to phenomena that occur in nature. Therefore, students must be able to understand science in its entirety with scientific literacy activities and students will be able to learn science more easily by increasing their problem-solving abilities. This study aims to determine whether or not scientific literacy has an effect on problem solving abilities. This research is an experimental research with simple linear regression analysis method. Using class 8 odd semesters with a total of 29 students and the tests used are scientific literacy tests and problem solving tests. The result of this research is that the highest scientific literacy criteria is sufficient criteria with a percentage of 57.14 percent and indicators identify valid scientific opinions with the highest percentage. Meanwhile, in problem solving ability, the highest criteria are very good criteria, namely 62.06 percent and the highest indicator is an indicator of understanding the problem. Regression analysis stated that the significance value was 0.000. Thus, there is an influence of scientific literacy (X) on problem solving ability (Y).

Keywords Scienctific literacy, problem solving ability, simple linier regression.

Abstrak Pembelajaran IPA memiliki konsep yang berhubungan dengan fenomena yang terjadi di alam. Oleh karena itu, siswa harus dapat memahami IPA secara utuh dengan kegiatan literasi sains dan siswa akan dapat lebih mudah belajar IPA dengan lebih meningkatnya kemampuan pemecahan masalah yang dimiliki siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada pengaruh atau tidak literasi sains terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen dengan metode analisis regresi linier sederhana. Menggunakan kelas 8 semester ganjil dengan jumlah 29 siswa dan tes yang digunakan adalah tes literasi sains dan  tes pemecahan masalah. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah terdapat kriteria literasi sains paling tinggi adalah pada kriteria cukup dengan persentase 57,14 persen dan indikator mengidentifikasi pendapat ilmiah yang valid dengan persentase paling tinggi. Sedangkan pada kemampuan pemecahan masalah kriteria paling tinggi adalah kriteria sangat baik yaitu 62,06 persen dan indikator paling tinggi adalah indikator memahami masalah. Hasil analisis regresi menyatakan bahwa nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000. Dengan demikian, maka terdapat pengaruh literasi sains (X) terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah (Y). 

Kata kunci literasi sains, kemampuan pemecahan masalah, regresi linier sederhana.
