Abstract

Abstract:This study aims to identify the level of effectiveness of the application of the RC4 learning model on students' scientific literacy skills in science learning at junior high school. The participants involved in the present research consisted of 30 students from 7B class at SMP Negeri 1 Jember, East Java, Indonesia. The current research employed One Group with Pre-Test and Post-Test Research Design. Two trial sessions on Environmental Pollution and the Solar System material were administered. Data obtainedfrom students' scientific literacy tests were analyzed using the Normalize Gain (N-Gain) formulation. The average N-Gain value in the small group trial showed a result of 0.53 and in the large group trial, it showed a result of 0.54. It can be concluded that the level of effectiveness of applying the RC4 learning model to students' scientific literacy skills was in the moderate category
