Abstract

This article focused on describing the student worksheets^ effectiveness in Biology Physics courses in order to improve student scientific literacy. This article is a part of the research development of student worksheets in Biology Physics courses to train student scientific literacy as a disseminate stage. The effectiveness of the student worksheets is based off pretest and posttest. The students of Biology Physics at Lambung Mangkurat Universityform Physics Education Study Program of the 2019/2020 academic year is a subject research. The pretest and posttest data were tested for normality and homogeneity showed that the data were normally distributed and the variants were homogeneous. Then, it tested for the significance differences using the paired t test. The t-test result shows a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. The effectiveness of student worksheet implementation is tested by the N-gain test to determine its effectiveness category. The Ngain test result is 0.724 and categeorized as high category. Thus, it can be concluded that the student worksheets is effective toimproving scientific literacy in Biology Physics courses within high effectiveness category.
