Dear Ms. Lusia. Thank you for your great question. i have been done some preliminary study about their attitude toward their environment and i found most of the students did not realize that their activities bring the bad impact for their local potency. the environmental awareness is the main key to build a real action for keeping their local potency well. the way to measure awareness I analyzed the likert scale and modified the questionnaire based on indicator from PISA 2015 about environment attitude then when i got the result from the questionnaires i classified their score based on Haseen taj(2001). Thank You
I appreciate your research idea. I would like to ask you. Did you do practice
question or write information about local potential especially coffee or
environmental problems in your learning materials so students could read and
answer the questions ?
If you did it. Did you give instruction to your students to answer all questions ?
If you don^t it. How did you do to improve students scientific literacy and
environmental awareness ?
Dear Ms. Pisca. Thank you for your questions. i do present a special chapter for local potency in that learning material. i put it as the first chapter so before another topic they read and learn about their local potency first. Of course all the questions inside of the learning materials provided with an instruction. about improving their scientific literacy i do understand by reading that learning materials is not enough, so i provided some student activities to stimulate their scientific literacy competencies and questions that have been modified to improve it and their attitude towrad the environment. thank you
I was suprised that the coffee on your area is using by Starbucks.
But back to question, I want to ask you about the scientific literacy indicator. What indicator on scientific literacy that have the lowest score? Is there any reason for it?
Dear Ms. Putri. It is true that every year the coffee from my area are supplying for starbucks. The indicator that i have found as the lowest result was evaluate and design scientific enquiry. both group got lowest score on this indicator. some factors that i got which can be influenced this result is need more questions and activities related with this indicator. Thank You
Dear Mr. Chandra
Through this opportunity I want to ask, apart from the test results, do the
students^ learning activities show an increase in scientific literacy and
environmental awareness? Thank you

Dear Ms. Ivo. Thank you for the questions. In that electronic learning materials i already prepared some student activities that i have been design to increase their scientific literacy competencies and attitude toward the environment. Those activities was doing by their self. if we talk about increasing number i said yes there are an increasing number for their scientific literacy competencies and i cant see from the way they design their own research about their local potency that bring benefit to others. Thank You
Dear Ms. Anisa. Thank you for you question. If we talk about the problem for implementing the research of course the answer is YES. The main problem that i ve got is how to implement the electronic learning materials to all the student in the middle of covid-19 pandemic while my research location is not a location that have a good internet access. But i have discussed with my supervisors to share the electronic learning materials on the student cellphone and some students who cant afford a cellphone i came to their houses and teach them directly and use my own laptop so that they can use that electronic learning materials. Thank you for the question and you really understand my concern
