Abstract
The qualitative research aimed to investigate teacher’s views on scientific literacy in primary school. The participants were 7 primary teachers. Data were collected using semi-structured interview, and analyzed by content analysis. The results indicate science teachers mostly and partial views about scientific literacy. Details, they explain that scientific literacy applies scientific knowledge to solve problems in daily life by use of science process skills, but their explanations did not yet relate to social context in which students had faced. In addition, the science teachers could identify the characteristics of students who expressed their scientific literacy clearly with an emphasis on reading skills. Also, the student can express their analytical and problem-solving skills, and making a decision about something in their lives by the scientific evidence. Furthermore, the science teachers perceived that cultivating scientific literacy is essential for primary school students. It is a preparation for their students who are facing real-life problems in complex science-related societies.
