(2) The effectiveness of learning is shown on student's learning completeness classically that is 90% of students reach KKM value. These results have reached the established criteria of 75%. The average increase in students' science competence is 0.69 in the medium category. The students' competency profile based on PISA criteria appears dominant in the explanation of scientific phenomena, whereas based on the criteria of science literacy dominant in science as the body of knowledge. (4) The teacher's response toward scientific literacy learning was positive with an average score of 3.83, and (5) students' responses toward scientific literacy learning are quite positive with an average score of 3.22 out of a maximum score of 4.00. © 2017 Universitas Negeri Semarang Address correspondence: Campus UNNES Kelud Utara III, Semarang, 50237 E-mail: basamfajri@gmail.com p-ISSN 2252-6404 e-ISSN 2502-4515
