{"abstract":"Scientific literacy skills are one of the vital components needed by 21st-century workers, particularly in STEM-related careers. So, this descriptive-comparative study evaluated the level of scientific literacy skills of undergraduate biology students by utilizing the Test of Scientific Literacy Skills (TOSLS) tool, a 28-item multiple choice exam. Based on the findings, students struggled to apply their knowledge of recognizing a sound scientific argument, comprehending the components of a research design, and how they affect scientific results and conclusions. Concurrently, the learners also had a moderate and high level of scientific literacy for the first and second TOSLS categories, respectively. And there was a significant difference in the TOSLS scores across areas of specialization. Therefore, teachers must implement learning activities that can fulfill the demands of 21st-century learning, such as student-centered learning, collaborative learning, and technology and computer-integrated learning, to increase students' critical thinking skills, a vital component of scientific literacy.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Arantxa Loise Lu-ong"],"date":"2023-12-13","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.10371373","id":2308,"issue":7,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"b264b39bc79971e1fbc705dd157b350f70e91c8d621887f55936a2de4c99632f","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Evaluating the Scientific Literacy Skills of Undergraduate Biology Students","volume":15}
