Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world including Indonesia, has had an impact on various aspects of life, one of which is education which has been transformed into courageous learning. Learning is supported by internet technology, but a lot of information is not in line with science. This can lead someone to easily reject the truth of science. As a student, you must have an attitude of trust in science, because in essence science prohibits processes, products, attitudes and technology. One way to select information that is not in line with science, especially in the field of biology, is through biological literacy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between biological literacy and scientific beliefs of Senior High School 1 Batu students. This type of research used survey research using a nominal biological literacy instrument totaling 20 question items, a functional biology literacy instrument totaling 20 question items, and a belief in science instrument totaling 16 question items. This study involved 247 students with a research time of 5 May 2023 – 23 May 2023. The independent variable in this study was biological literacy, while the dependent variable was belief in science. The sampling technique used is cluster random sampling. The data that has been collected is tested using multiple linear regression analysis. Obtained buying and selling regression y = 33.510 + 0.112x1 + 0.280x2. Based on these results, it can be written that the student biology literacy variable can be considered as a predictor that can predict the variable of trust in science students. However, the variable functional biological literacy is a greater predictor than nominal biological literacy.
