Scientific literacy level of chemistry and biology pre-service teachers at faculty of education, Amran University-Yemen

Abstract EN

This study aimed at investigating the level of scientific literacy (SLL) of the chemistry and biology pre-service teachers (CBPSTs) who enrolled in the preparation program of the science pre-service teachers ‘program at the Faculty of Education-Amran University in Yemen.

Also, it aimed at investigating the differences between participants' scores means according to some variables.

To achieve those aims, scientific literacy scale (SLS) was developed.

The sample of the study was selected from the CBPSTs in the faculty.

The results of the study revealed that the overall SLL of the participants was generally low.

In addition, the results showed that there were significant differences between scores' means of the participants according to the academic year in favor of the 4th year.

Likewise, it was disclosed that there were statistical significant differences between participants' scores means of the participants in all groups' comparisons in favor of the chemistry except of the comparisons of the 4th groups on the nominal scientific literacy scale (NSLS).

Based on the results of the study, some recommendations were made
