Abstract
This study aimed to 1) to develop and examine the structural equation model between Science teacher collaboration and Professional development affected on scientific literacy using Enjoyment of science and Professional development as a mediator 2) to develop and examine validity multi-level the structural equation model of between Science teacher collaboration and Professional development affected on scientific literacy using Enjoyment of science and Professional development as a mediator. Data used in this study was PISA 2015 to measure student performance on scientific literacy, Enjoyment of science, Professional development, and Science teacher collaboration by using Mplus 7.0.
The result showed that 1) Science teacher collaboration effect directly to scientific literacy And other variables in a positive effect. And Science teacher collaboration effect indirectly to scientific literacy passing by Professional development and Enjoyment of science significantly. Moreover, Enjoyment of science negative effect directly to scientific literacy significantly and Professional development effect directly to scientific literacy not significantly.2) Analysis of the influence of variables at the school level revealed that Science teacher collaboration effect directly to all variable positive effect. And indirect affected in two way are passing Professional development and Enjoyment of science significantly. But Enjoyment of science and Enjoyment of science effect negative directly to scientific literacy in significantly.
