Abstract

The limited science literacy proficiency of the pupils hinders their capacity to effectively use scientific principles in solving real-world situations. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of incorporating buffer solution students’ worksheets, which are based on problem-based learning with ethnochemistry subtleties and integrated technology, on enhancing students’ science literacy skills. The study methodology employed is quasi-experimental research, namely in the form of a nonequivalent control group design. The population comprises students enrolled in phase F of SMA Negeri 3 Padang for the academic year 2022/2023. The sample was selected via purposive sampling. The research data analysis was conducted utilizing the N-gain test and hypothesis testing employing the t-test. The data analysis revealed that the N-gain value for the experimental class was 0.86, falling within the high category. This resulted in a significant improvement of 73.31% in students’ science literacy ability, classified as good. The hypothesis test yielded a t_count value of 8.56, which exceeded the critical t_table value of 1.66. Therefore, the research hypothesis was accepted. The results validate that the use of a buffer solution students’ worksheet, which incorporates problem-based learning with ethnochemistry subtleties and integrated technology, has a substantial positive impact on the science literacy skills of students at SMAN 3 Padang.
