Teachers' Perspective on Enhancing Science Literacy of Primary School Students’
Abstract
This research aims to understand teachers' perspectives on enhancing science literacy among primary school students in Sidoarjo District. This study employed a quantitative survey design using a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. The population consisted of 362 teachers from various primary schools, and purposive sampling was used to select 116 participants. The results indicate that teachers' perspectives on enhancing science literacy are relatively high, suggesting that teachers have made substantial efforts to promote science literacy despite concerns regarding national literacy and numeracy achievement. The findings provide empirical evidence that science literacy practices in Indonesian primary schools are being implemented through visual stimuli, healthy debates, and student investigations. These results contribute to a better understanding of teachers' roles in supporting science literacy development at the elementary level.
