Abstract

Biology learning plays an important role in stimulating student literacy skills. This is because biology is the answer to the problems which are related to nature and their interactions with environment. Scientific literacy skills can be imparted to students by using UKBM (Unit Kegiatan Belajar Mandiri or Independent Learning Activity Unit) on Biology. The purpose of this study was to find out the effectiveness of UKBM towards the enhancement of students' scientific literacy skills. The type of this research is quasi-experiment as it is using pretest and post-test question instruments. The statistical data shows that the average value of scientific literacy skills in the experimental class (20.36) is higher than the control class (15.85). The statistical test with Anakova shows an F value is 51,901 with a probability of 0,000 (sig. <0,05) meaning that there is a significant relationship between pretest and post-test scientific literacy skills and the value of F = 10.607 and sig. (0.002) <0.05 indicates that UKBM which is used in learning process is effective to improve students' scientific literacy skills.
