Abstract

This research has been undertaken to develop instruments to measure scientific literacy and the pedagogical content knowledge of the teacher candidate students who joined the Science Education Master Degree Program in the University of Mataram. The instruments namely Test of Scientific Literacy (TSL) consist of 16 items and Test of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) consist of 34 items. Both instruments have been developed according to ADDIE procedure and were validated by experts. Results of expert validation shows that these instruments were valid from the content and construct sides. After exposed to 35 students in the program, the result shows that the scientific literacy and the pedagogical content knowledge of the science teacher students are categorized as low or fall in the nominal and functional level. The mean score of student scientific literacy and pedagogical content knowledge were less than 50% (µTSL = 19 & 41) and (µ TPCK = 46 & 47). Based on these facts, it is recommended that in order to overcome the problems, the process of teaching and learning through all the subjects should be addressed to improve the student scientific literacy and pedagogical content knowledge.
