Implementation of Science Literacy Through Eclipse Diorama Project in Grade VI at Supriyadi Elementary School Semarang

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of an eclipse diorama project as a strategy to enhance students' scientific literacy. In the Contact phase, the teacher introduces the phenomenon of solar eclipses, sparking students' curiosity. In the Curiosity phase, students are given the opportunity to delve deeper into the topic, developing their inquiry skills. The Elaboration phase involves students in diorama projects, allowing them to apply their knowledge in a practical context. A descriptive qualitative research method is used to observe these stages. It was found that through this approach, students' motivation increased, their inquiry skills were enhanced, and their understanding of scientific concepts deepened in three steps. Thus, the implementation of the eclipse diorama project provides holistic understanding and a profound learning experience for students, preparing them to tackle scientific challenges and the demands of the 21st century.
