Abstract

This study aims to describe the profile of the scientific literacy skills of undergraduate students at Tanjungpura University, Pontianak. The research method used is a descriptive method to describe the initial ability of scientific literacy of undergraduate students as prospective science teachers, especially in chemistry. The research subjects were undergraduate students in the chemistry education study program. The research sample uses a purposive sampling technique. The sample is undergraduate students in the first semester of the 2018/2019 school year. The data collection tool in this study is a written test in the form of a description to measure students’ scientific literacy, interviews, observations, and learning questionnaires to find out the learning process during teaching lecturers in class. The results showed that the profile of the scientific literacy ability of undergraduate students at Tanjungpura University in Pontianak is still low, so it needs to be improved by developing learning models. This result can be seen from the percentage of student scores in the very low category of 84%. The low ability of scientific literacy is in aspects of scientific literacy as content, process, and context.
