The Effect of CIRC Combined with Guided Inquiry Learning Model on Scientific Literacy in Terms of Academic Ability

Scientific literacy is the ability to use scientific knowledge, identify questions, and draw conclusions based on scientific evidence. Purpose: This study was aimed to know: (1) the influence of guided inquiry learning combined with the CIRC model on scientific literacy; (2) the influence of academic ability on the scientific literacy; (3) the interaction between learning model and academic ability to the scientific literacy. Methods: The research was quasi-experiment research. The population of this research was all of the 11th-degree students at SMA N 2 Boyolali in the academic year 2019/2020. The sample of this research was students of XI MIPA 1 as the first experimental group and XI MIPA 2 as the second experiment group. The data was collected by test techniques (NOSLiT). Result: The hypotheses analyzed by Anova Two Ways with the level of significance 5%. The results showed that there was an influence of the use of guided inquiry learning with CIRC models to scientific literacy (Sig. = 0.000) α = 0.05. Conclusion: The research concluded that 1) guided inquiry learning combined with the CIRC model had a significant effect on scientific literacy, 2) the academic ability has a significant effect on competency of scientific literacy, 3) the interaction of learning models and academic abilities do have a significant effect on students' scientificliteracy
