Abstract

Students have difficulty in associating Protist organisms in their daily lives. Protist literacy is needed so that students can apply the concept of Protista in the real world. The purpose of this study is to find out the level of students’ Protist literacy. This study is survey research using a sample of 349 students in Indonesia. Sampling technique by accidental sampling. Data was collected using the Protista literacy instrument consisting of a multiple-choice test and a questionnaire based on the Protista literacy dimension, namely 1) conceptual knowledge, 2) relation information, 3) fact evaluation, 4) real solution, 5) argument identification, 6) self-confidence, and 7) scientific value. The findings show that student Protista literacy is still very low (M=45.99). Efforts to improve student protist literacy are by integrating problem-based learning with technology. Developing various learning innovations in Protista learning is expected to empower students’ Protist literacy.
