Effect of the Learning Cycle 5E Model on the Scientific Literacy Ability of Junior High School Students

The research aims to describe the effect of the 5E learning cycle model on the science literacy skills of middle school students. A quantitative pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was used in this study. Data analysis was carried out using inferential statistics, namely the N-gain test and one-way ANOVA. The results showed that the N-gain value was 0.6, which falls into the moderate category. The ANOVA test showed a result of 0.126 > 0.05. The analysis of science literacy indicators showed that 70% of students achieved a good category in the science inquiry indicator, 56% achieved a fairly good category in the problem-solving indicator, and 43% achieved a fairly good category in the scientific reasoning indicator. These results concluded that the 5E learning cycle model has a significant impact on the science literacy skills of middle school students.
