Abstract


Science literacy is a skill that students need to have to face the challenges of the 21st century. One aspect that can improve science literacy is the use of teaching materials. The purpose of the study was to analyze the opportunities and challenges of improving students' science literacy using teaching materials. The research method used was systematic literature review with PRISMA flowchart. The results showed that opportunities to improve science literacy are done through various ways including the use of science literacy-based teaching materials, in-depth review of science literacy-based books, and the use of technology. However, learning activities that involve science activities are still few and more conceptual. In addition, the teaching materials used only contain subject matter and examples of problems and their solutions, without encouraging students to find learning concepts and solve the problems faced. The conclusion obtained is that teaching materials that can be used in improving science literacy include comics, multimedia, books, e-modules, worksheets, and mobile-based learning media.
