This research was a quasi-experiment with pre-post research of non-equivalent control group design. The population of the study were students of grade VII Junior High Schools in Kotawaringin Timur Regency. The sample was selected by stratified random sampling technique based on school stratification, which included high, medium, and low category schools. Research data of scientific literacy knowledge and competencies were measured using test instrument, while scientific research literacy attitude data was measured using non-test instrument (self-assessment questionnaire). The data analysis technique used was one-way manova with significance level of.05. The result of the data analysis showed that science learning which was based on Experiential Learning Model (ELM) with android support has significant influence on the scientific literacy, covering some aspects: knowledge, competencies, and attitude of students of grade VII Junior High Schools in Kotawaringin Timur Regency.
