Abstract

The environment is an interactive learning resource to improve students^ scientific literacy, such as the study location^s marine cultivation area environment. This study aimed to integrate the marine culture environment^s ecological parameters for the enrichment of teaching materials in improving students^ scientific literacy. The research method used observation and experiment--the nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design--sampling technique using a total sampling technique. The research data collection used multiple-choice tests, and the data were analyzed using the Independent sample t-test with the help of SPSS 17.00. The results showed that students at the initial stage had limited knowledge about the marine culture environment relevant to the teaching material. However, relatively all students understand correctly the location of cultivation and cultivation techniques developed by the community. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of the Independent sample t-test showed that the significant value of students^ scientific literacy skills was less than 0.05 (p <0.05). The conclusion is that the enrichment of science teaching materials sourced from marine cultivation ecology can significantly increase students^ science literacy. Therefore, scientific learning that only standardization material from school books with fabric sourced from the environment.
