Abstract

This research aims to develop scientific literacy instruments in the direct current series chapter. The measured aspects of scientific literacy are aspects of content knowledge, procedural knowledge and scientific attitudes. The research method was conducted with a qualitative and empirical analysis approach. Qualitative analysis is carried out by experts/content experts to examine the items. Empirical analysis is used to measure the feasibility of the instrument in the form of validation, reliability, differentiation test and convenience test. The sample used to measure the feasibility of research results is the second semester informatics student at Majalengka University. The results of expert studies/experts on the item shows that it is appropriate, as well as the results of empirical tests showing that the scientific literacy instrument developed in the direct current electricity chapter is feasible to be applied in learning.
