Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine students' scientific literacy through test on the kinetics of chemistry concept. Scientific literacy is one of the abilities students must have to know how much they can implement their knowledge to be applied in life. This test was established randomly selecting 65 students as participant of eleventh grade from senior high school in Sukoharjo. Twenty five number of questions tested is multiple choice. In each item of the questions contain aspects in the dimensions of scientific literacy including dimensions of content, context, and competence. The questions tested were divided into 5 low difficulty questions, 12 moderate difficulty questions and 8 high difficulty questions. The results of this study, 59.07% participant can answer low questions, 42.3% medium questions, and 57.5% high level of difficult questions. Furthermore, students' scientific literacy of 67.69% are low with 7.69% get good point. This shows that many students don't understand yet how to use and apply of science in life.
