Abstract

The objectives of this research are to analyze the scientific literacy abilities of physics department students in the aspect of scientific competence. This research used descriptive methods with a quantitative approach. The research sample was 101 university students from physics department who are taken fundamental physics I lecture, at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The data analysis technique is carried out by giving a score to each student's answer and then interpreting it into scores and categories of scientific literacy achievement. Scientific literacy is measured based on indicators of the scientific literacy aspect finding that, (1) 36,54% can carry out effective literature searches; (2) 48,85% can Interpret graphs/tables correctly; (3) 64,66% can carry out inferences, predictions and drawing conclusions based on quantitative data; (4) 9,90% can Solve problems using quantitative skills; (5) 44.22% can make graphs correctly from the data. These results show that students’ scientific literacy abilities in the scientific competency aspect have diversity in each indicator and are still very low based on categorizing scientific literacy abilities.
