Self-Efficacy: Its Correlation to the Scientific-Literacy of Prospective Physics Teacher

Abstract

The low number of scientific literacy in education is still one of the learning's problems in Indonesia. From the results of The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2015, Indonesia still gets a low average, which is 403 with the average score of all countries is 500. Some research in Indonesia says that internal factors such as Self Efficacy very influential for someone's scientific literacy ability. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of self-efficacy of prospective physics teachers and its relation to scientific literacy of prospective physics teachers. The instruments of the research that used were objective-tests with multiple-choice and multilevel-reasons. The correlation test used is Pearson formula in Microsoft Excel program with correlation result rcount>rtable that is 0,80>0,27 with the high category, and the result of tcount>ttable is significance. So it can be concluded that self-efficacy has a high relationship, positive and significant to scientific literacy.
