Abstract

The solution to a problem, among others, requires identifying and collecting, processing, and interpreting data. This process involves data literacy skills. Data literacy is one of the hidden variables in the physics learning process, and only a few are analysed. This study aimed to assess the data literacy possessed by prospective physics teacher students. The research uses a case study research design. The scope of the research is on prospective physics teacher students taking Electromagnetic courses at the Physics Education Department, Siliwangi University, in the 2022/2023 academic year. Data analysis used descriptive statistical analysis. Data Literacy in this research consists of data introduction, data collection and recording, data analysis and interpretation, data communication, and data use. The context of this data literacy study is the search for a solution to the problem of contamination of combustion smoke in the chimney by applying the concept of physics. The findings are that students’ data literacy is still at the primary and intermediate data literacy level. The remarkable thing that needs attention is data literacy in the aspects of data recognition, data interpretation, data collection, and data use. These results mean that students still need to be more to identify data according to the problem, categorize data according to its use to solve problems, make connections between the results of data analysis, and use data to provide arguments. The findings of this study can be the basis for developing a learning program that involves data literacy training.
