Abstract

The main problem in education today is that students’ scientific-cultural literacy and high-level thinking abilities are still weak. The inability of many students to apply scientific knowledge to real-world issues and critically analyze information underscores the pressing need to enhance both scientific literacy and high-level thinking skills. The general aim of this research is to develop and produce an elementary school science learning model containing indigenous science that is effective for developing students’ scientific-cultural literacy and thinking skills. Data to test its effectiveness was analyzed using Manova at a significance level of 5 percent. Based on the results of data analysis, several things were found as follows. 1) The science learning model with indigenous science content is effective in developing students’ scientific literacy and higher-order thinking, 2) the science learning model with indigenous science content is effective in developing students’ cultural scientific literacy, and 3) the science learning model with indigenous science content is effective in developing high level thinking student. In this way, the science learning model containing indigenous science can be used by teachers in an effort to develop students’ cultural science literacy and higher-order thinking.
