Abstract

One of major goals in science education is to assist students in developing their interests in science. Students’ attitudes toward science will determine the success of this goal. One of the students’ science attitudes is related to the students’ response to the development in science, technology and scientific issues. Understanding science, technology and scientific issues is an effort to prepare students for modern life and empower students to make decisions regarding the impact of the science and technology in their lives. This paper describes the method to improve the scientific literacy of senior high school students by introducing the development of science and technology of nanofiber and how to fabricate them using electrospinning tchnique. Exciting media including animation, video, presentation, and discussion were utilized to explain science and technology of nanofibers in detail and how to produce them using electrospinning technique. Evaluation questionnaires regarding student's interest, attention, response to issues of science and motivation were prepared to assess the students’ attitudes towards science. It was found that the introduction of electrospinning technique for obtaining nanofibers could improve student's interest, attention, response to issues of science and motivation towards science.
