Improving Science Literation and Citizen Literation Through Thematic Learning Based on Ethnoscience

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to improve the scientific literacy and citizenship literacy of elementary school students through Ethnoscience-based thematic learning. This research method is experimental research with a quasi-experimental design type—data collection techniques using test techniques, namely science literacy tests and citizenship literacy tests. Based on the results of the post-test analysis of data Literacy of science obtained t value = 3.781> t table = 1.998 and t-test results of the test of citizenship literacy got t value = 4.971> t table = 1.998. It means that there are significant differences in scientific literacy and civic literacy in the experimental and control groups. While the N value of scientific literacy gain in the control group is 0.43 (moderate) while in the experimental group is 0.73 (high) and citizenship literacy in the control group is 0.34 (medium) while in the experimental group is 0.73 (high). Based on these results, it can be concluded that there was an increase in scientific literacy and high citizenship literacy in the experimental group and increased science literacy and moderate citizenship in the control group.
