Abstract

The students are willing to engage in science, they are required to have scientific literacy. However, Indonesian students still score far behind other countries. So this study aims to improve students’ scientific literacy skills by applying STEM-based student worksheets in Physics learning. The sample consists of 23 students at senior high school. The sample was determined through a purposive sampling technique. The quantitative was applied as a research approach. The type of research was quasi-experimental using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research instrument is a scientific literacy test with the validated subjects. Student literacy scores on pre-test and post-test after the STEM-based worksheet were 33.7 and 78.89. This approach succeeds in enhancing each of the scientific literacy indicators with a score of 0.40 for indicators explaining scientific phenomena, 0.37 for the indicator evaluating and designing scientific research, and 0.32 for indicators interpreting data and scientific evidence with the medium category as well. The results showed an improvement in students’ scientific literacy skills after the application of STEM-based student worksheets achieved an N-gain score of 0.70 with a high category. These findings have implications for educators to increase student involvement in learning activities with the STEM approach.
